The Illusion of Abundance

Maxima, Bertha and Carolina - even though far apart - share a common goal: leading the environmental fight against modern corporate “conquistadores”; governments and corporations caught up in the global race to obtain the cheapests raw materials. Three women with a story of tireless courage, who continue to fight to protect nature, putting their lives at risk, against police repression, corporate harassment, attacks and even death threats, which are part of their daily routine. A film about the high price of “development” and the globalization of environmental resistance, which hunts transnational corporations wherever they hide.
