Green is the New Red

This amazing investigation offers an intimate journey in Latin America, elaborating a genealogy of the ecological disaster, presenting an unprecedented historical and political contextualization. 

SYNOPSIS

A gripping, character-driven documentary that investigates the murder of over 1,500 environmental defenders in Latin America since 2012, revealing how today’s violence is rooted in the legacy of Operation Condor—the Cold War-era “multinational of repression” that enabled mass disappearances, land grabs, and impunity across the region. Blending intimate personal stories with powerful historical insight, the film traces a haunting lineage from past state terror to the present-day ecological crisis, exposing how the foundations of the global agribusiness empire were built on blood and silence.
