Earth’s Greatest Enemy is the second feature documentary from journalist and filmmaker Abby Martin (Empire Files, Gaza Fights For Freedom), co-directed with her husband, Iraq War veteran Mike Prysner. The film investigates the US military as the world’s largest institutional polluter — a status shielded by its exemption from international climate agreements and largely absent from mainstream environmental reporting. Drawing on testimony from veterans, scientists, and frontline communities, it traces the connection between war, empire, and ecological destruction.

Following the screening, Martin joins Dave Sweeney, Nuclear Free Australia campaigner with the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF), for a live conversation.
