A morally complex documentary that examines radical environmentalism through the lens of one activist's arrest, balancing sympathy for ecological urgency against the legal and ethical consequences of direct action.

Filmmaker Marshall Curry explores the inner workings of the Earth Liberation Front, a revolutionary movement devoted to crippling facilities involved in deforestation, while simultaneously offering a profile of Oregon ELF member Daniel McGowan, who was brought up on terrorism charges for his involvement with the radical group.
