IF A TREE FALLS is the Academy Award-nominated documentary, about an environmentalist who faced life in prison for burning two timber facilities. Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Marshall Curry.
Part coming-of-age story, part cops-and-robbers thriller, the film interweaves a verite chronicle of Daniel McGowan on house arrest and a dramatic recounting of the events that led to his involvement with the radical environmental group. Using never-before-seen archival footage and intimate interviews-- with the ELF members and the prosecutor who was chasing them-- the film asks hard questions about environmentalism, activism, and the way we define terrorism.

I thought of sharing this documentary even tho I am not a fan of ELF. This is due to the dynamics between the people participating. or my understanding of those dynamics. Still, I think we can learn from their experience and I find this super important.
