Focusing on Oregon-based activist Daniel McGowan, If a Tree Falls relates the tale of a mild-mannered, middle-class citizen driven to extremes and brought to trial on charges of terrorism for his participation in ELF-related arson plots. Detailing activists' past disillusionment with peaceful public protest and the police brutality and inertia that often followed the film poses difficult questions about the possibility of effecting change from either within or without the system, and examines the changed stakes for revolutionaries today in a world fixated on branding all dissenters as terrorists.

KUI PUU LANGEB – MAA VABASTUSRINDE LUGU
Režissöör Marshall Curry

Film keskkonnaakivistidest, kes asuvad mõistma omakohut nende üle, kes oma hiigelkasu nimel on valmis ohvriks tooma elusat loodust. Piire ületanud aktivistidele mõistetakse üliranged karistused ning neid käsitletakse kui terroriste. Vaat, milleni võib viia vastasseis riigivõimu ja looduskaitsjate vahel USA-s!
