The Carbon Rush - Unveiling the human cost of carbon credits
This a groundbreaking documentary that explores the hidden impacts of the global carbon credit industry. Through projects like hydroelectric dams in Panama, incinerators in India, biogas extraction in Honduras, and eucalyptus forests in Brazil, the film investigates whether these initiatives truly reduce emissions or shift the burden to vulnerable communities.
Traveling across four continents, the documentary gives voice to Indigenous people, farmers, and waste pickers whose lives are upended by these so-called "green" projects, raising critical questions about who benefits and who suffers in pursuing climate solutions.
