This controversial documentary takes place amidst the redwood rainforest of Humboldt County where young activists have taken the art of resistance to new heights. Surrounded by clear cuts while perched in the high canopy of ancient forests for extended periods of time, activists such as Julia Butterfly Hill (and dozens of others), have used non-violent direct action and civil disobedience to slow down the chainsaws and bring attention to the destruction of old growth forests. This film is historical, exhilarating, informative, and intense! Featuring Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, Woody Harrelson and Mickey Hart.
