In the early 2000s, the Earth Liberation Front was making news by setting fire to various targets, including a Hummer dealership; a logging company; and an expansive, new dining hall at the Vail ski area. This film, focusing on the sad story of Daniel McGowan who committed acts of arson for the Front, takes an incisive look at this shadowy group in the aftermath of a series of arrests and plea bargains. A compelling and cautionary tale that smartly delves into the complexity of extreme action.
