‘Unjust Transition’ Premieres on YouTube, Challenging Chile’s Decarbonization and Coal Phaseout

The documentary ‘Unjust Transition’ is now free to watch on the YouTube channel of citizen coalition Chao Carbn, inviting viewers to scrutinize Chile 00s decarbonization and energy transition 0aand their real impacts on frontline communities.

The 35-minute film, written and directed by Ladislao Palma with co-writer Lucas Za 00artu, takes viewers on an immersive journey led by an artificial-intelligence avatar that personifies energy 0a 0aasgiving it a voice to narrate Chile 00s unequal energy transition.

The work contrasts the realities of Huasco 0a 0a where coal-fired power plants remain active without closure commitments 0a 0a and Tocopilla 0a 0a which shut down six coal units but still faces unremediated environmental liabilities and high rates of disease.

Drawing on compelling testimonies and on-the-ground footage, the film surfaces an uncomfortable truth: the energy transition is an ideological battleground that will shape the future of communities and the planet 0a 0a and it questions whether this process is being carried out in a truly just way.
