Showing on Earth Day, Wednesday 22 April, at the Phoenix Cinema, Kirkwall is a powerful new film. It uncovers a shocking blind spot in the climate conversation: the U.S. military.

Exempt from international climate agreements and rarely scrutinised in mainstream reporting, the Pentagon is revealed here as 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, the 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.

Documentary directed by Abby Martin, an investigative journalist and host and presenter of The Empire Files.

The film has two showings on 22 April at 1pm and 7.30pm. You can book tickets by clicking on the link, or pay on the day : Earth’s Greatest Enemy.
