An investigative documentary and a humanistic thriller, The Silence Of The Earth sheds light on the murders of environmentalists in Latin America and the dark interests that lie behind these deaths, pointing directly to large transnational corporations and their local allies. The consequences of the devastation caused by these large companies reach far beyond the borders of Latin America; without natural resources, without forests to mitigate pollution, and faced with the enormous challenge of climate change, the entire planet is at risk.
This story is told through the murders of three different environmental activists who dared to speak up. Berta Cáceres, Paulo Paulino Guajajara and Aldo Zamora gave their lives defending the Earth and were brutally murdered for opposing the interests of large corporations.
But who is behind these crimes and why do they enjoy almost total impunity? What objectives are the orchestrators of the crimes pursuing by murdering these activists? And, above all, what consequences are there for our planet and the future of humanity?
