If A Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front Official Theatrical Trailer (HD)

NOW AVAILABLE ON DEMAND AND DIGITAL - http://ow.ly/eG2Ni

On December 7th, 2005, federal agents conducted a nationwide sweep of radical environmentalists involved with the Earth Liberation Front — an organization the FBI has called America's "number one domestic terrorism threat."

IF A TREE FALLS: A STORY OF THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT is the remarkable story of the group's rise and fall, told through the transformation and radicalization of one of its members, Daniel McGowan. Part coming-of-age tale, part cops-and-robbers thriller, the film interweaves a chronicle of McGowan facing life in prison with a dramatic investigation of the events that led to his involvement with the ELF. Using never-before-seen archival footage and intimate interviews — with cell members and with the prosecutor and detective who were chasing them — IF A TREE FALLS asks hard questions about environmentalism, activism, and the way we define terrorism.

We world need more "Eco-terrorism" and less capitalist terrorism..this is true terrorist. In this system are jailed heroes who fight for a better world and rewarded the murderers who kill the planet

[ElWizzardo]

These people are heroes. The fact anyone thinks our dire environmental situation is less important than someones shitty exploitative private industry is a complete affront to any rational, empathetical human being. All these right-wing idiots shout about the Boston Tea Party, but thats exactly what these people are doing. Direct action works.

[C1F3r]

well thats pretty stupid, there is a huge difference between hating people for what they do(destroying the natural environment) and hating people because of something they can't change(skin colour, etc.)

[MischievousKittie]

terrorism is terrorism, hate is hate..regardless of the intent.

[blablue7]

You know,we all know that these bad things happen.We have available proof and if lucky,a common sense. We know that governments make bad decisions,that big corporates do anything to get more money.And some people who stand up against that,end up being called vandals,terrorists,''the bad guys''. They are heard,but their voices are being ignored by people who were voted by us to make our lives better.Greed is a new plague.We forget that the Earth is changing.If it doesn't stop,we will change too.

[somewhathumanlike]

Wood wasn't made for anything. We were made for the earth, not vice versa.

[Egerspurge]

Destroying your precious environment so you can save it. Gotta love dat logic.

[cascadehopsrule]

couldnt agree more

[MrMasCras]

Looks like terrorists found a new cause for their bliss

[Aonghus MacCready]

ECO-NAZIS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Owen Jenkins]

I do agree however, that this is indeed terrorism that destroys the jobs and lives of innocent workers who do what they do for the need to feed their starving children. It is possible to oppose both the ELF and corporate destruction of the Earth. It's important to note however that the latter is responsible for tens or possibly hundreds times more innocent death, destruction, fear and violence on a global scale.

[Owen Jenkins]

I don't know where you read that water is far from running out. That is the second biggest environmental concern in the world. Secondly, I'm a meat eater, but we weren't made to eat meat at all. Also, the ELF doesn't advocate no use of wood, it is just against unsustainable destruction of vital ecosystems by massive corporate entities, and again, I am no fan of terrorism on any scale, nor am I a member of the ELF, but the terrorism of corporations is far worse than the terrorism of the ELF
