Three women, Carolina, Bertha, and Maxima, lead the fight against modern conquistadors—corporations exploiting nature for profit. Their story, told in The Illusion of Abundance, is one of immense courage. Facing daily threats, repression, and harassment, they risk their lives to protect the environment. This film highlights the high cost of "development" and the globalization of their vital resistance, as they hunt down transnational corporations wherever they hide.
