This timely documentary looks at the dark side of environmentalism and how it is stopping poor people and communities across the globe from breaking out of poverty. It examines campaigns against large mining projects by environmentalists in the developing world. You’ll see distortion and exaggeration by environmentalists as they endeavour to stop development in poor countries and keep people in poverty because they think their way of life is ‘quaint.’ The film follows Irish journalist Phelim McAleer as he investigates the consequences of environmental movements for poor communities across the world.CLICK HERE TO BOOK
