Green Is the New RedGreen Is the New Red

Through a critical recounting of Operation Condor the coordinated campaign of political repression across Latin America in the 1970s filmmaker Anna Recalde Miranda traces the roots of Paraguay's current ecological disaster. Under the country's right-wing dictatorship, dissidents were subjected to surveillance, torture, kidnappings, assassinations, and land grabs, abuses documented in the Archives of Terror. These crimes are also etched into Paraguay's vast soy fields, sprayed with agrochemicals for multinational corporations. The soil itself bears witness to ecological collapse, displaced Indigenous peoples, and landless farmers. Green Is the New Red connects land sovereignty and human rights, revealing how historical violence paved the way for today's environmental devastation.
