Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance on Tuesday at Zurich Film Festival, where she joined the screening of a new documentary “My Home of Wind and Sand,” which looks at the occupation of Western Sahara by Morocco.

Calling the film “powerful” and able to “create change,” Thunberg minced no words when speaking about the world’s attitude toward the region. “There’s this extreme hypocrisy that makes me so, so angry and upset,” she said.
