IF A TREE FALLS: A STORY OF THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT tells the remarkable story of the rise and fall of this ELF cell, by focusing on the transformation and radicalization of one of its members.
The film recounts the events leading to the formation of the Earth Liberation Front – a name taken up by decentralized groups using direct action in defense of the earth. This story is told through the lens of ELF member Daniel McGowan as he deals with house arrest and prosecution for acts claimed by the ELF.
Though Daniel is now out of prison, his co-defendant Justin Solondz remains held in federal custody. After the film, we’ll be writing letters and signing cards for Justin.
