Is environmentalism really a Trojan horse for Marxist ideology? This is the question that De la guerre froide à la guerre verte seeks to answer, taking us on a revealing journey into the dark heart of Latin America. Here, for about 13 years, more than 1,500 environmentalists and land defenders have been murdered. The roots of this violence lie in “Operation Condor,” which in the 1970s eliminated tens of thousands of “subversives” and paved the way for impunity and land grabbing. A personal and collective account that, through the voices of the protagonists, reconstructs the genealogy of the current ecological disaster.
