If a Tree Falls
Dir. Marshall Curry (2011) | US, UK | English | 85 min | DCP
Programmed by Julie
A rare look behind the scenes of the Earth Liberation Front, a radical environmental group once deemed America's 'number one domestic terrorist threat' by the FBI. Filmmakers Sam Cullman and Marshall Curry give us a documentary that unfolds within the context of political flashpoints across the late 90’s and early aughts, during the rise of green anarchy’s actions against the exploitation of resources when peaceful protests failed. The film follows E.L.F. organizer Daniel McGowan and fellow comrades of the Oregon cell based in Eugene as we discover personal stories that led them to the rationalization of property destruction as a means to a liberatory end. Challenging our conditioning and reasoning in a way that inspires a conversation as to who the terrorists are and the price Earth pays for unchecked capitalism.
