Banijay Entertainment has announced a new feature-length documentary, The Silence of the Earth, which highlights the urgent issue of climate justice. Produced by Diagonal TV (Banijay Iberia) and Crescendo Media, in association with Banijay Rights, the film will debut at MIPCOM 2024. Directed by Eulogio Romero, the documentary focuses on the lives and tragic deaths of environmental activists Berta Cáceres, Paulo Paulino Guajajara, and Aldo Zamora, who were killed defending the planet.
