The Break Free Movement was started by the climate activist group 350.org and other organizations. As part of the May campaign, Break Free released a film entitled Disobedience. The film features Break Free organizers in Canada, Germany, Turkey, and the Philippines as they prepared to mobilize. It also includes cameos from author and activist Naomi Klein, 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben and board member Lidy Nacpil, and dozens of inspiring voices from front-line fights around the world.
In support of the Break Free movement, Planet Aid held two public screenings of Disobediance at its Baltimore and Milford locations.
