KINO: Earth's Greatest Enemy

Documentary on the Links Between the Climate Crisis and Militarism

Who is Earth’s greatest enemy? Abby Martin’s groundbreaking documentary paints a striking picture of the colossal destruction of our natural resources caused by global militarism. At the center of her analysis is the U.S. military, the world’s largest military force and, at the same time, the largest consumer of fossil fuels. From the melting glaciers of Alaska to contaminated military bases in the U.S. and polluted battlefields around the world, Martin documents the hidden costs of a global military empire. With a blend of sharp investigative journalism, visually striking footage, and moving accounts from affected communities, the film shows how U.S. militarism poisons ecosystems, drives global warming, and jeopardizes a livable future in favor of endless expansion.

EARTH’S GREATEST ENEMY is a provocative and unsparing examination of an untouchable institution with a massive influence on today’s ecological crises. Provocative, compelling, and insightful—a documentary that serves as an urgent wake-up call.
