A US foreign policy reporter, Abby Martin, and her Iraq veteran husband turn their sights on the hidden impact that the US military has on the planet, after the birth of their first child created them anxiety about the climate crisis. Their investigation exposes a secretive and constantly-expanding web of pollution, cover-ups and unaccountability by the world’s biggest polluter.

The film, Earth’s Greatest Enemy, reveals a hidden truth behind global heating: the role of the US Military as the world’s largest institutional polluter, tracing the link between war, empire, and ecological destruction.
