Utilizing film analysis perspective, the paper analyses the narrative, mise en scène, and character actions to unveil the ecofeminist undertones present in the film. Drawing on Karen J. Warren's perspectives, the analysis explores how Encret (2019) challenges dominant power structures through awareness, critiquing patriarchy, and promoting empathy and solidarity. The study also highlights the film's visions of ecofeminist resistance and transformation, emphasizing interconnectedness, challenging traditional gender roles and hierarchies, and fostering empowerment through community action and solidarity. Based on the analysis of the film, it shows that the victims of environmental exploitation, especially in river pollution and sanitation, is a girl, who is the most vulnerable because she is considered to have the lowest hierarchy. The Encret provides a satire about a polluted river with bad sanitation wrapped in a comedic element, through its emotionally gripping narrative and striking visuals, Encret (2019) contributes to the ongoing struggle against environmental exploitation (polluted river) and gender inequality, inspiring viewers to question and challenge the systems that perpetuate environmental issues.
