There are conversations we don’t always make space for— But they matter just the same. Today’s featured film: 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙝’𝙨 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙮 Earth’s Greatest Enemy, directed by Abby Martin and Mike Prysner (Gaza Fights for Freedom), is an investigative documentary exploring the often-overlooked environmental footprint of global military operations. Through powerful journalism, striking visuals, and stories from impacted communities, the film invites audiences to consider the complex intersection of war, power, and our planet. Provocative, timely, and deeply human, it opens the door to conversations that are rarely part of the climate movement. We’re building something meaningful together, and it starts with the stories we choose to share. #WestlandImpactFestival #WhyWestland #WhitefishMontana @fababs @empirefiles

Abby Martin (@fababs ) explains why the US military is the world’s largest institutional polluter & how that statistic fails to capture the scale of US-led military emissions and environmental destruction on #thinkerview

Voor HUMO interviewde ik de Amerikaanse journaliste en filmmaker Abby Martin (@fababs ) over haar nieuwe documentaire Earth's Greatest Enemy. De film fileert het Pentagon als grootste institutionele vervuiler ter wereld: een oorlogsmachine die niet alleen landen destabiliseert, maar ook ecosystemen vernietigt en de klimaatcrisis aanjaagt. Van giftige chemicaliën rond Amerikaanse militaire bases tot kankers en aangeboren afwijkingen in Fallujah, Irak: Martin toont hoe oorlog en ecocide hand in hand gaan, terwijl militaire uitstoot buiten klimaatplannen blijft. Toch is het geen milieudocumentaire, de titel heeft, net als de film, verschillende lagen. We spraken ook over Gaza, Iran, militair imperialisme, de rol van de media en de krimpende ruimte voor afwijkende stemmen in het Westen. Een scherp en confronterend gesprek over macht, oorlog en een verschuivende wereldorde. Naar de magazineboer! of op @humo.be

Abby Martin/ @fababs is being recognized with a 2026 Izzy Award for her documentary Earth’s Greatest Enemy, an investigation into the environmental and human costs of the US military. Over years of reporting, the film documents how the US military operates as the world’s largest institutional polluter, with emissions that exceed those of many entire countries. It reveals how official figures significantly undercount its true impact by excluding the full scope of war-making, from weapons production and global supply chains to the long-term environmental damage left behind in conflict zones. The documentary also exposes how military pollution extends far beyond carbon emissions, tracing its effects through toxic waste dumping, contaminated water supplies, and the lasting health consequences faced by frontline communities and service members alike. By connecting militarism to fossil fuel dependence and climate collapse, the film challenges a system that is rarely scrutinized in mainstream coverage. Project Censored is a proud cosponsor of this year’s Izzy Fest and the 18th Annual Izzy Award at Ithaca College.
