When you hear the title of the new film from independent journalist/director Abby Martin and her team at The Empire Files, you may or may not have a good guess what it’s referring to. I’ll give you a hint: It’s not Martians, China, or Dr. Doom.

Earth’s Greatest Enemy is about the U.S. military, particularly its role as the planet’s biggest institutional polluter and climate change contributor. While provocative, the title is not sensationalist: It is a sober description of an entity whose activities harm virtually all life on earth, including the ones it’s sworn to protect. The film makes this case persuasively, with details and stories that will assault your conscience – and, hopefully, motivate you to join the struggle for change.
