Introducing

Followed by a discussion with Samuel Legros, Advocacy Officer at CNAPD, and Anne Xuân Nguyễn, researcher at GRIP

Synopsis

Earth’s Greatest Enemy reveals a hidden truth behind the climate crisis: 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.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with two speakers:

Samuel Legros, Advocacy Officer at CNAPD, will share his work on pollution linked to military activities, this ghost that urgently needs to be unveiled, and the importance of establishing demilitarization to secure a livable future.

Anne Xuân Nguyễn is a researcher at GRIP, where she works on topics ranging from peacekeeping to the environmental issues of armed conflicts. In 2023, she defended a doctoral thesis on the consequences of Agent Orange on ecosystems and human health. Her research covers both decolonial questions and memorial practices in making visible the wartime destruction of living beings.
