The Illusion of Abundance + To Remedy the Damage: Indigenous Surveillance of the Territory / Indigenous resistance

Indigenous resistance: ‘The Illusion of Abundance’

Book your ticket here.

In a world driven by consumption, global companies accept the destruction of the environment in order to push their interests. The Illusion of Abundance is a documentary that spotlights the stories of those who dare to fight against the industries’ violations of human rights and the struggle for their own survival, with sometimes fatal consequences. It follows three women in Peru, Honduras and Brazil on their tireless mission to sue those corporations that are killing their people and stealing their lands. Through poignant visuals and empowering messages this film sheds light on the life-threatening realities of many across Latin America, and asks questions like “Why would governments let corporations do abroad what they would never do in their own territories?”
