"The Most Beautiful Catastrophe" APART Collective, 2018

Resource added

Full description

This film depicts the inability of corporations to take ownership of the havoc that they have wreaked on the environment. The film opens with a shot of three capitalists clad in business suits running away from the camera, representing them running away from their responsibility to take action to reverse the damage that they have done. The film goes on to tell how “the extensive development of heavy industry and mining during the socialist period has unexpectedly resulted in the appearance of new wetlands and marshes in the upper Nitra region as a side-effect of underground coal extraction,” once again portraying how the bad decisions made by corporations disproportionately affect the surrounding native communities (Fowkes).
