As someone who has always been passionate about environmental issues and social justice, I am deeply moved by the upcoming documentary “The Silence of the Earth.” This film, directed by Eulogio Romero, is not just a piece of cinema but a poignant tribute to three brave souls – Berta Cáceres, Paulo Paulino Guajajara, and Aldo Zamora – who fought valiantly against the dark forces of unchecked corporate greed and environmental destruction.
Banijay Rights, Diagonal TV (a Banijay Iberia label), and Crescendo Media Production have collaborated on a feature documentary titled “The Silence of the Earth.” This film explores the murders of three environmental activists and delves into the broader consequences that global climate devastation is inflicting upon our planet. In the coming weeks, Banijay will showcase this movie to potential buyers at Mipcom.
Eulogio Romero is responsible for creating a film that delves deeply into the stories of three courageous ecological activists: Berta Cáceres, Paulo Paulino Guajajara, and Aldo Zamora. Tragically, all three lost their lives while combating unrestrained corporate avarice and environmental devastation.
From the perspective of a film critic:
Cáceres was a passionate activist and Indigenous leader from Honduras who played a key role in establishing the Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras. She was recognized with the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2015. Tragically, she was murdered in her home by a gang linked to the U.S. military in 2016.
Paulino, often called “The Wolf,” was a Brazilian activist and part of the Guardians of the Forest, a team of Indigenous protectors combating unlawful logging activities. In 2019, they were attacked by a gang of loggers who ended up killing Paulino and injuring his cousin.
Aldo Zamora, the son of renowned Mexican activist Ildefonso Zamora, along with his brother Misael, inherited their father’s passion for environmental activism. They both became members of Greenpeace Mexico and frequently spoke out against illegal logging practices. Tragically, in 2007, Aldo lost his life in an ambush orchestrated by a gang of loggers.
“The Earth’s Silence Unveiled
Jordi Frades, Diagonal TV’s Managing Director, stated in a statement: “This documentary isn’t just a movie; it’s a rallying cry. Climate change is the most pressing issue of our era, impacting every individual on Earth. In ‘The Silence of the Earth,’ we share the moving and heart-wrenching tales of environmental activists who made the ultimate sacrifice in their efforts to preserve our planet. Eulogio Romero skillfully combines investigative intrigue with cinematic emotion, creating a deeply human storyline to captivate viewers and motivate action.
Cathy Payne, CEO of Banijay Rights, stated: “The Silence of the Earth” is a crucial and important documentary. It exposes the real-world impacts of environmental devastation, aiming to ignite discussions about the connections between corporate influence, human rights, and the climate emergency. With our extensive global network, Banijay Rights is dedicated to disseminating this vital tale to viewers around the world. We believe Mipcom 2024 will be an ideal platform for its international premiere.
