If a Tree Falls

The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) are famous for launching spectacular arsons against dozens of businesses they accuse of destroying the environment: timber companies, SUV dealerships, wild horse slaughterhouses, and a $12 million ski lodge at Vail, Colorado…

Part coming-of-age tale, part cops-and-robbers thriller, If a Tree Falls focuses on ELF member, Daniel McGowan, as he goes from house arrest to facing life in prison.

If a Tree Falls looks at a tumultous period in history when the word “terrorism” had not yet been altered by 9/11.
