German American Jerry Ensminger was a devoted Marine Corps Master Sgt. for nearly twenty-five years. As a drill instructor he lived and breathed the "Corps" and was responsible for indoctrinating thousands of new recruits with its motto Semper Fidelis or "Always Faithful." When Jerry's nine-year-old daughter Janey died of a rare type of leukemia, his world collapsed. As a grief-stricken father, he struggled for years to make sense of what happened. His search for answers led to the shocking discovery of a Marine Corps cover-up of one of the largest water contamination incidents in U.S. history. Semper Fi: Always Faithful follows Jerry's mission to expose the Marine Corps and force them to live up to their motto to the thousands of Marines and their families exposed to toxic chemicals. His fight reveals a grave injustice at North Carolina's Camp Lejeune and a looming environmental crisis at military sites across the country.

But that’s not the worst. The population is missing the most important element, water. To calm their thirst and hunger, many villages eat "raketa mena", a cactus whose scientific name is Opuntia stricta. But this cactus is an invader that dries out the land. What is the solution?

Ce documentaire cinématographique, inspiré du best-seller A Short History of Progress de Ronald Wright, pose un diagnostic subversif sur le progrès de l’humanité et les pièges qu’il apporte. Le réalisateur Mathieu Roy et co-réalisateur Harold Crooks, par le biais de scènes mémorables et le regard lucide de grandes personnalités tels que David Suzuki, Jane Goodall, Margaret Atwood et Stephen Hawking, sondent la nature fondamentale et dérangeante de ce qui est qualifié de progrès.
