Global Witness counted 227 environmental activists killed in 2020 alone, and this DW film travels to three continents to show why. In Nigeria's oil-rich Niger Delta, leaking pipelines have contaminated fishing grounds and farmland, leaving communities hungry and defenseless against what residents call the oil mafia. In Peru, indigenous groups and NGOs confront illegal palm oil, cocoa, and coffee plantations carving into the Amazon, alongside timber trafficking and cocaine production that make defending the rainforest a lethal occupation. In Romania, rising timber and energy prices have made illegal logging more profitable, and the people documenting it live under constant threat of retaliation. The film follows activists, journalists, and indigenous leaders on the ground in each location, pairing their testimony with footage of poisoned rivers, stripped forests, and the corporate and criminal networks profiting from the destruction. It builds a picture of environmental defense as one of the world's most dangerous jobs, connecting local devastation to global supply chains for oil, timber, and food.
