In 2018, just before Jair Bolsonaro was elected president of Brazil, I wrote about the dire consequences of his presidency for the rainforest and its Indigenous peoples, which I called “environmental fascism.”As we approach the U.S. election and the potential re-election of Donald Trump, we must recognize that a similar threat is now haunting the United States, threatening to set a perilous global agenda.

My first time in Bolivia was an experience filled with awe, concern and witnessing a country on the brink of turmoil. As part of the work for my upcoming documentary, I arranged an interview with the country’s three-time president, Evo Morales.
