Synopsis

If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front is a documentary film that follows the rise and fall of the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), a radical environmental group that engaged in acts of sabotage against corporations and government agencies involved in environmental destruction.

The film explores the motivations of the ELF members, who believed that traditional forms of activism were not enough to combat the destruction of the natural world. It also delves into the tactics used by the group, including arson and property damage, and the consequences of their actions.

One of the central figures in the film is Daniel McGowan, a former member of the ELF who was arrested and charged with multiple counts of arson. The documentary follows his legal battle and the impact of his actions on his family and the environmental movement as a whole.

If a Tree Falls raises important questions about the ethics of radical activism and the effectiveness of violent tactics in the fight for environmental conservation. It challenges viewers to consider the complexities of the environmental movement and the consequences of extremism in the pursuit of a noble cause.
