Green is the New Red

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

SYNOPSIS

A gripping, character-driven documentary that investigates the murder of over 1,500 land and 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.
