As the economy expands, ever greater quantities of materials and energy need to be extracted and then disposed of - these processes lead to environmental degradation and the release of pollutants into the atmosphere. Moreover, they often take place far away from the points of consumption, jeopardizing the livelihoods of local communities. Economic growth thus leads to increasing cases of environmental conflicts - with communities clamouring for environmental justice. These conflicts often take place in remote areas, or what we call the "commodity frontiers". This video showcases the work of students at the the Institute of Environmental Sciences at the Autonomous University of Barcelona through 12 case studies about different types of eco-conflicts.

The Ancla2 Photography Cooperative, with the Venezuelan filmmaker and documentarian Rafael Lacau, carry out photography workshops in rural areas of South America, especially with children who have never had contact with a camera. The experience documented here is that of the youngest inhabitants of Tuñame, a town in the Venezuelan Andes. In this production, the children express how they see their community, how they understand problems - especially environmental problems - and what they feel about their reality and the solutions to face it. This documentary is part of the series "Venezuela seen by its children", presented on public television in that country.
