In this study I will explore the representations of politicians in the documentary film I Am Greta (2020). Drawing from Stuart Halls work on representation and Martha Nussbaums and Rae Langtons theories on objectification, I will conduct a multimodal semiotic analysis in which the representations of people and persons are studied. The findings point towards the representation of politicians through stereotyping practices and signifying difference. I also conclude that individuals identified as politicians are objectified through representation. Contextualised within populist climate discourse, these representations of politicians might aid in the discursive construction referred to as the establishment.
