Earth's Greatest Enemy

Earth’s Greatest Enemy exposes a hidden truth behind the climate crisis, the role of the US 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 and featuring rare confrontations with Pentagon officials as well as high-ranking politicians, the film 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 US and toxic battlefields overseas, Earth’s Greatest Enemy delivers a provocative and unflinching examination of the untouchable institution that is playing an outsized role in the climate crisis.
