Macca give Greenpeace a chance? Just the once

SIR Paul McCartney declined to take part in a film about a Russian attack on Greenpeace, despite being instrumental in helping to secure the release of 30 activists.

The film covers how Macca wrote his 2013 letter to Vladimir Putin calling for the release of 28 Greenpeace members and two journalists.
