Three women, three countries, three struggles: courageous activists Bertha, Carolina and Máxima are fighting global environmental destruction in Peru, Honduras and Brazil. They speak out about corporations in the EU and US deliberately accepting the destruction of the environment and human life in the name of profit. But how do you keep fighting to protect nature when your own life is in danger? When police repression, corporate harassment and physical attacks are part of everyday life? This is not just a film about those paying the high price of ‘progress’ but above all a film about globalisation, resistance and the will to pursue abusive transnational corporations wherever they hide.
