Synopsis
How to Get Away with Greenwashing by Sam Pigott is an investigative journey into Chile's booming private conservation industry that uncovers ecological malpractice, human rights violations, and historical injustices. The proliferation of private conservation is tied to the corruption and economic policies of the Pinochet Dictatorship, diving into modern day conflicts over land.
The film examines the effects of highly concentrated landownership and the failing system of accountability within private conservation. These disparate topics are neatly brought together by the crimes and abuses committed by one of Chile's most renowned private nature reserves.
After the film screening, there will be a panel discussion on greenwashing in Chile, and Norway's role, organized by Association for International Water Studies (FIVAS) and Norwegian Solidarity Committee for Latin America (LAG).
During the event, a short video by Maxi Goldschmidt and his local team in Chile will be screened. This short video (shown for the first time to an open audience in Norway) touches upon the Mapuche struggle to reclaim ancestral land, the effects of Greenwashing in Chile and how the Mapuche- communities are resisting a continuous attack on their existence, partially blaming Norwegian governmental companies such as Statkraft as a modern colonist.
The Mapuche struggle continues- is Norway listening?
