The Illusion of Abundance.
Defending nature against corporate exploitation
About the Film:
Three courageous women—Máxima, Bertha, and Carolina—lead the global fight against corporate greed threatening their communities. Facing police repression, death threats, and corporate harassment, they expose the hidden costs of “development” and inspire a worldwide movement for environmental justice. This documentary is a rallying cry for those risking everything to protect the planet.
