The environmental and humanitarian crime in the territory of the so-called Orinoco Mining Arc is undoubtedly the most devastating ecological crisis in the contemporary history of Venezuela. A crisis that threatens not only to destroy the livelihoods of the indigenous communities in the area, but also the biodiversity of the Amazon region and the planet.

Bleeding Gold

An unprecedented ecocide is taking place in the southeast of Venezuela, where a criminal network with transnational characteristics is being articulated.

A lithium mine being built in Nevada's remote sagebrush desert promises us a greener future, but local ranchers, environmentalists, and indigenous tribes share a different side to the story.

Sagebrush Gold

A standoff for resources unfolds in the American West.

Uniquely structured upon the personal storytelling of native West Virginians, Devil Put The Coal In The Ground is a meditation on the suffering and devastation brought on by the coal industry and its decline. From the realities of a crumbling economy to the ravages of the opioid epidemic, to the irreparable environmental damage and its tragic impact on human health – the film is a cautionary tale of unfettered corporate power and an elegy to a vanishing Appalachia.
