And then they put me on their Glastonbury team which was quite revelatory for me. So I went there to sort run workshops and do work on their stall at Glastonbury.Chris Church: Had you been to anything like that before?Zoe Broughton: Not like Glastonbury no, no. [laughing] And I felt like that was quite an eye opener for me because I remember, I came across the Greenpeace stall there. And they had a video which was sort of on a loop playing on a screen at their stall. And it was, it was the song, It’s the end of the World as we know it. And it had all this high energy like speed boats and there were barrels being dropped on them and seals that they were spraying to stop them being culled. I was just completely mesmerised by that video and watched it over and over again, joined up with Greenpeace. And I think that was a kind of changing point for me. And interestingly fifteen years later I remade that video for Greenpeace.British Library catalogue number: C2037/92 Project clip number: 31
