Planet Killers

Cinema

„Planet Killers“ ran 2023 in the festival cinema program.

Their offenses against nature are crimes against humanity: With Interpol’s units for environmental crime, “Planet Killers” seeks to track down the world’s most wanted environmental criminals.

They are the Ed Geins and Jeffrey Dahmers in the age of climate change. Except that they re claiming indirect victims with their deeds and could ultimately cost the entire planet its future : The "Planet Killers" that the French docu-series follows together with special Interpol units, who accept maximum damage to flora and fauna for maximum profits. The first episode is against Carbon Prince Cyril Astruc, who is behind one of the biggest fraud cases with 5 billion euros of damage around carbon bonds. The difference with capital crimes of classic  "True Crime"-offenders*: The penalties for environmental sins are usually much more lenient
