"A wildly successful and engaging documentary." -NY Press
"The film's sobriety and carefully balanced arguments make it an exemplary piece." -New York Times
Directed by Marshall Curry
Marshall Curry, Oscar-nominated director of Street Fight (2005) paints a surprising portrait of political activism caught in a legal vortex. Reconstructing the recent history of the Earth Liberation Front, and the case of Oregon-based activist Daniel McGowan, Curry depicts both the economic sabotage performed by “ELF” sleeper cells, disenchanted with ineffectual public protests and the police brutality that often follows, and the legal maneuvers of a system which today often brands activists as terrorists.
