EARTH'S GREATEST ENEMY Norfolk Premiere

March 11 2026

10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
The Naro Expanded Cinema 1507 Colley Ave., Norfolk, VA, Price: $11:00 - $16.50

Join us for the premiere of Abby Martin’s new documentary film on the environmental impact of the US military!

Earth’s Greatest Enemy is the second documentary from journalist Abby Martin that uncovers a shocking blind spot in the climate conversation: the U.S. military.

Exempt from international climate agreements and rarely scrutinized 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.

Video message from Director Abby Martin following the film
