It's September 1971, where in the North Pacific Ocean was freezing with winds up to 120 mph and 40 ft waves. It was an 85 ft fishing boat, a long liner that he fished for halvut. It was the only boat we had. Bill Darnell is a 25-year-old Canadian ecologist. He's on board with 10 other activists, somewhere between the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea. Bill and his shipmates, a ragbank crew of disputaceous dope smoking hippies, have set sail in a last-ditch effort to stop the US military from testing nuclear weapons on a remote Alaska island. It's hard when your an activist to be inactive in a cramped space. You know, like we're going to argue and we're going to argue and people aren't really listening to each other. And fellow crew member Bob Hunter, a journalist from the Vancouver Sun, has had enough. We came in one day with a piece of paper that he pulled out of a notebook to send the fuck off and pinned it to his undershirt. And that was it, like I'm not talking anymore. We're done. The men on board wanted to save the world. But Bob said they spent most of their time at each other's throats. He goes clashing. The group fatally divided from start to finish. Even so, this voyage would make history. I'm Justin Roelatt, BBC Climate Editor. And I've been covering the Green Movement over the course of 20 years. What's clear is that it's not just been shaped by fights with polluters, critics and governments but also by internal battles within its ranks. Last time, we heard about a face-off between two arms of the Green Movement in the 2020s, one that would help redefine direct action. Now, we're heading back to the 1970s and the origin story of the modern Green Movement itself. For BBC Radio 4 from Understand, this is 10 fights that made the Green Movement. Episode 2. The Green Peace. We were this collection of people who were trying to stop logging and oil tankers and wars. If you're part of the counterculture in the early 70s, then Vancouver on the west coast of Canada is the place to be. There are street protests about everything from the war in Vietnam to the legalisation of marijuana. One of the most terrifying things that was happening at the time was this threat of a nuclear war. And in particular, the testing of bombs deep underground in Amchitka, a remote wind-battered island between the American state of Alaska and Russia. Two nuclear weapons tests had already been carried out there by the US military in the late 1960s. And they announced in the fall of 1971 there was going to be the third test. Bill's peace-loving community is angry. One of the leading figures is Irving Stowe, a full-time activist with a bushy beard, tie-dye t-shirts and a fondness for showing the peace sign. My father got a phone call from an activist friend. Irving's daughter, Barbara Stowe. And she said, as the honours washed up dead, on the shores of that island with its eardrum split by the blast. Still, when I think of that, they were testing nuclear weapons in a dedicated wildlife preserve. That was the last straw for my father. Irving and his activist friends would gather in the Stowe's living room, discussing the best ways to stop the tests. All the while watched by a teenage Barbara who just wants to come home from ballet and go to bed. How is a little group operating out of our living room with no money going to do that? But I didn't want to run around in his prey, so I said, "Oh, you know, that's nice, dad." At the end of one meeting, Irving says peace as he's leaving. And I said, "Well, we should make that a green piece." And green peace, the group that will become emblematic of the whole movement across the world, is born. Among the group is Jim Bowlin, an American engineer. One morning, the Vancouver Sun phones him and asks what they're actually planning to do to stop the nuclear tests they talk so much about. And Marie, as a wife, said, "We're going to send a ship." And Jim said, "We're sending a ship." With that flippant remark, green peace has embarked on its first campaign to sail more than 2,000 miles northwest from Vancouver to Amchitka. But they don't have a boat or any money. Until Irving has an idea. My father decided to hold a rock concert to raise the money and got Joni Mitchell to agree to play. It was so exciting. Brothers and sisters in green peace. Green peace is beautiful. And you are beautiful because you are here tonight. By coming here tonight, you are making possible a trip for life and for peace. Joni Mitchell brought James Taylor and they sang a duet of Mr. Tamburyman. It was so magical. That was one of the greatest moments of my life, I would say. With the money raised, they charter a beat-up fishing boat with a comagenly captain. Irving, who suffers from seasickness, stays ashore to coordinate political and media pressure. The others, a crew of 12, set sail on the 15th of September 1971, in the boat newly crescent the green peace. We sailed out. We waved goodbye. I remember sort of a troop ship atmosphere. You know, all these young guys on board this vessel going off to an unknown conflict and sort of celebrating and passing a bottle of wine around. But on the inside, sort of wondering what's going to happen. But as soon as we went into the Gulf of Alaska, I was seasick right away. Bill is supposed to be the ship's cook. So there was a lot of peanut butter sandwiches and Jim Bowling cooked some chili for the first day and a half till I kind of got my sea legs and then it was okay. After all the excitement, the day to day is pretty boring so they distract themselves with music. One of our favorites was the moody blues and we had a cassette up on the window ledge near the compass while we were steering. Nobody figured out that compasses are magnetic and tape decks are magnetic and tape deck was pulling the compass off course. The US Navy is monitoring their boat and soon spots that the positions they're sending back home to Vancouver are wrong. They said wait a second, are they trying to give us the slip? Are they trying to evade us? So they sent out a Navy patrol plane to search the area and try and find us. The compass error means the boat has to sail an extra 90 miles to get back on course. Journalist Ben Metcalf makes regular broadcasts from the boat, including to CBC radio, and the Broadcaster. This is Ben Metcalf aboard the Greenpeace reporting to radio nu. The Greenpeace has now been out nearly a month. This little 99 tonne halibut boat has stayed on her keel so far but the fall and winter storms up here are fantastic. The date of the nuclear test is yet to be announced by the US Atomic Energy Commission so they wait. And while they wait, tensions grow. Your soldiers sitting in a trench are waiting for the order to go and we were just sitting and feeling in a family. So they make a decision that will doom their voyage. And sour the vibe on board even further. We weren't thinking strategically. We went ashore. The green piece mores up on Akutam, an Alaska island about 700 miles or three days away from the nuclear test site. The captain warns them this isn't a good idea. We hadn't listened until we were totally bored and we'd had each other's throat. They have fun. Some take peyote, the hallucinogenic drug to pass the time. Bill and Jim hike up to the island's volcanic beaches. But by going ashore, they've entered the US illegally. So it was no longer about nuclear testing. It was about all your illegal aliens. The US Coast Guard shows up and says they'll be arrested unless they turn their boat around. Now the in-fighting reaches a new level, captured on tape, still held by the Vancouver Archives. Right now I'm seconding guard down well-tires of the spike of glenon between you and you. The biggest argument was, "Do we go on or do we go back? Do we wait? Do we make a run for it?" "I've got on just too far. There's too many sniping marks and backhand papers. But then you don't like it when you got to him there." We were running out of food and fuel and there was a lot of guys on there who were ready to go. It was too long, too late. It was really impacting their lives back home. "I'm on fighting. You are there. I'm just trying to clarify it. But now you're fighting." I wanted to keep going because we didn't come all this way to turn around, you know. They'd set off hopeful and excited. But now the tide has turned. They feel. "Dismal, sad, defeated. We were pretty mad about it." After six weeks at sea, the crew reluctantly headed home to a hero's welcome in Vancouver. But they didn't feel like heroes. "We failed, you know. Don't treat us as heroes. It was heartbreaking." The Amchitka Nuclear Weapons Test was detonated on the 6th of November, 1971, shortly after Bill and his crew were back on shore. "Oh, wrenching is that. You know, like, we're back where we started from. I did all that effort. And they still blew the bloody bomb, you know. But to Barbara at home and many others, they were heroes. "Greenpeace lost the battle, but they won the war." Although Greenpeace had failed to stop that test, the political pressure in part bolstered by their voyage pushed the US to announce just three months later and end to the entire Amchitka Nuclear Test program. And that was Greenpeace's first campaign. Bob Hunter dubbed it the first media mind bomb. And the global environmental movement the voyage unleashed would use similar mind bombs, dramatic actions that explode in public consciousness to powerful effect in the decades to come. But these men, united in their mission literally in the same boat, were bitterly divided over big questions of practicalities, of commitment, and of when to admit defeat. These two camps, the diehard all or nothings, versus the practical realists, would live on in future iterations of the Green movement. Next time on Ten Fights, can you be blue and green, a political schism at an iconic magazine shines a light on a wider rift within the movement. I think his expulsion from the Ecologist magazine was the first time I became aware of this sort of growing intolerance within the movement. This very radical shift to the left. Ten fights that made the Green movement is a BBC long-form audio production for understand from Radio 4. It was presented by me, Justin Rolatt. The producers were Rachel Nailer, Alex Pickles, and the series producer was Ellie House. The editor was Matt Willis, sound design and mix by James Beard.

In 2020, every patient who had used a Finnish psychotherapy service called Vastamo had their therapy notes stolen and held to ransom by a faceless, remorseless hacker. It could be some extortionist gang from Eastern Europe, or it could be somebody living next door to me. I'm Jenny Cleeman. Join me as I discover just how vulnerable our deepest secrets can be.
