Since it's founding in 1776, the United States has been at war or involved in foreign military conflicts for approximately 230 out of its 250 years of existence—roughly 93% of the time. The country has experienced fewer than 20 calendar years without active military engagement. If that fact gives you pause, join us for an exclusive viewing of the documentary Earth's Greatest Enemy by investigative journalist Abby Martin. "Earth’s Greatest Enemy, the second feature film project by Abby Martin, is a groundbreaking anti-imperialist environmental documentary. Exempt from international climate agreements and rarely scrutinized in mainstream reporting, the Pentagon is the world’s single largest institutional polluter—spewing carbon, contaminating water, and scarring landscapes across the globe. Combining investigative journalism, striking visuals, and stories from impacted communities, this film challenges audiences to rethink the hidden costs of a global military empire and its planetary consequences. Provocative, urgent, and eye-opening, this is a documentary that will change how you see both the military and environmentalism." - EGE website
