Green Is The New Red

Description

Synopsis

A genealogy of our present ecological disaster.

The border between Paraguay and Brazil has become a green desert. This is the birthplace of the Soya Republic, the cradle of the global agribusiness. The horizon is an endless crop line, uniting past and present. Focusing on the assassination of more than 1500 environmentalists and land defenders in Latin America since 2012, Green is the New Red looks for the roots of this violence by analysing Operation Condor. This “multinational of repression” in the 70s meant impunity and land grabbing, laying the foundations for today’s Soya Republic.

Synopsis

Une généalogie du désastre écologique actuel.

La frontière entre le Paraguay et le Brésil est devenue un désert vert. C’est le berceau de la République du soja, le berceau de l’agro-industrie mondiale. L’horizon est une ligne de culture sans fin, unissant le passé et le présent. S’intéressant à l’assassinat de plus de 1500 environnementalistes et défenseurs de la terre en Amérique latine depuis 2012, Green is the New Red cherche les racines de cette violence en analysant l’opération Condor. La « multinationale de la répression » des années 70 était synonyme d’impunité et d’accaparement des terres, créant les fondations de la République du soja d’aujourd’hui.
