Berta Cáceres, Honduras’s well-known environmental campaigner and winner of the Goldman Environmental Prize, was brutally murdered in her home in 2016. She was an icon.
With exclusive access to the Cáceres family on the anniversary of Berta’s death, ‘Worth Dying For?’ investigates the extraordinary epidemic of death sweeping environmental activists in Honduras. In a country with 90% impunity for murder, where more people are killed per capita than anywhere else in the world for defending the land, ‘Worth Dying For?’ implores those in power for justice and humanity.
