Larch Maxey campaigns against climate change. He has lived underground, in trees and on protest camps, and gave up a career as an academic to pursue this cause.
In January, he dug tunnels under Euston Square Gardens in London, where he lived with other protesters for 27 days. He has been arrested and spent time on remand in prison, yet continues his life as an activist.
The Untold follows Larch Maxey over eight months of campaigning against the high speed railway HS2, from leaving the tunnels to a day in court. And he meets the Green Party member and supporter of HS2, Melanie Horrocks. She says he's wrong about the impact of HS2, and argues the project should go ahead.
What motivates someone to lead this kind of life? Grace Dent takes us inside the controversial world of a protester.
