Scars of Growth
As Europe pushes for the green transition, new mines are being built to secure critical metals needed for clean technologies. While mining companies present themselves as climate allies, local communities fear the consequences. In Spain, farmer Hector fights against land destruction, while Matti, an Indigenous Sámi reindeer herder in Sweden, struggles to protect his traditional way of life. Meanwhile, Peruvian activist Diego investigates whether mining can ever be truly sustainable, as EU politicians push for laws favoring extraction. French economist Timothée Parrique challenges the idea of Green Growth, advocating for a post-growth model that prioritizes sustainability over endless resource consumption.
