Cinema Resistenza: Earth's Greatest Enemy
About
A film by Abby Martin and Mike Prysner.A foreign policy reporter and her Iraq veteran husband turn their sights on the
hidden impact the US military has on the planet, after the birth of their first child creates
anxiety about the climate crisis. Their investigation exposes a secretive and constantly-
expanding web of pollution, cover-ups and unaccountability by the world's biggest polluter.
Earth’s Greatest Enemy reveals a hidden truth rarely questioned in mainstream reporting:
the role of the U.S. military as the world’s largest institutional polluter, tracing the link
between war, empire, and ecological destruction. Drawing on powerful testimonies from
veterans, scientists, and frontline communities, it uncovers how military operations
poison ecosystems, accelerate global warming, and sacrifice the future for endless
expansion. From Alaska’s melting glaciers to contaminated bases across the U.S. and
toxic battlefields abroad, Earth’s Greatest Enemy delivers a provocative and
unflinching examination of the untouchable institution playing an outsized role in the
climate crisis.
