NHCC presents a series of documentaries about environmental hardships from the Southwest throughout Latin America. These matinee film screenings pair perfectly with a visit to the Visual Arts Museum before or after. Explore the subject matter of environmental justice through multiple mediums in one afternoon.
Through a critical recounting of Operation Condor, a coordinated campaign of political repression across Latin America during the 1970s, filmmaker Anna Recalde Miranda locates the roots of Paraguay’s current ecological disaster. As part of this campaign, the country’s right-wing dictatorship subjected political dissidents— leftists, intellectuals, union leaders, peasants, even children—to surveillance, torture, kidnappings, assassinations and land grabs. Evidence of these unlawful actions can be found within documents in the Archives of Terror but can also be witnessed across the nation’s vast fields of soy, which are sprayed with agrochemicals and grown in the interest of multinational food corporations. In possession of its own form of record keeping, the soil tells a story of decimated insect populations, worsening droughts, displaced Indigenous peoples and landless farmers. A documentary that unites land sovereignty with human rights in chilling, uncompromising fashion, DE LA GUERRE FROIDE À LA GUERRE VERTE reveals the historical conditions that have allowed the political and economic priorities of few to take place over sustaining forms of life for all.
