Where to Watch

If A Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front was excellent, managed to make numerous points specific to the case while highlighting overarching political implications and showed empathy with all sides while not diminishing the gravity of the illegal actions. A must see: short & sweet story, but riveting. Many valuable lessons to be learned from this film, including if after people try to appropriately use the bureaucracy set by the government, but the scales seem tipped in the favor of business interests and the government skips over appropriate procedures for those interests, the people can become radicalized & will ultimately overshoot what they even initially wanted & harm more inadvertently in the process so better for the government to keep a level playing field.
