  • Talk World Radio: Abby Martin on Earth's Greatest Enemy

    Talk World Radio: Abby Martin on Earth's Greatest Enemy
    Sep 28 2025
    This week on Talk World Radio, we're speaking with Abby Martin about her new film, Earth's Greatest Enemy. 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. See: https://earthsgreatestenemy.com
