If A Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front

'If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front' explores two pressing issues - environmentalism and terrorism - by lifting the veil on a radical environmental group the FBI calls America's "number one domestic terrorism threat." Daniel McGowan, a former member of the Earth Liberation Front, faces life in prison for two multimillion-dollar arsons against Oregon timber companies.

Having known a good deal about the ELF/Green Scare before watching this movie, I didn't find anything too groundbreaking in it. With that said, I thought they did a good job illustrating both sides of the coin. I would like to have seen them talk a bit more about certain issues/topics relating to the ELF movement and the broader picture of things. End:CIV talks about some of the broader aspects I thought that may have been brought up in this movie.

If you are readily aware of the ELF you may not find it to groundbreaking, but none-the-less it is a good documentary that establishes a dialogue that I think could be more prevalent in todays social commentary.

7/10
