    Well if your able to set any politics aside, whcih i try to always donot just when i watch movies... this is a very good, interesting,intriging, look at how good people can make very bad desicions. And i completly disagree with the actions taken by this group. but i'm still able to see them as human beings who, (some more than others) are able to look back and have remorse for ther actions. and i dont think it's only b/c of penelties they may or may not recieve. So watch the movie and deside for youself if these people are the terrorist some claim them to be?

    I enjoy environmental subjects, but I don't think the documentary itself is entertaining enough to keep the attention of someone not otherwise interested in earth issues.

    The filmakers do an excellent job of presenting both sides. Truly a very powerful film about values, family, and our government. It is ludicrous to me alos, that a group of arsonists are labled "terrorists" when it is the l, lumber, and water businesses, just to name a few are the main pocket liners of politicians. A seering question kept running through my mind: Where was the so called "peace-supporting" , environmentally minded masses including the Hollywood crowd when this was going on in support of these brave people. Why aren't the film makers using material such as this to educate the masses and dare to attach their name in the credits in support against the :"Big Boys"..certainly not Daniel M and his followers. Terrorists? Give me a break. Those who continue to profit by raping our land are the true terrorists. EFL admitted their follies and yet have the guts to do more than talk about their values & beliefs. Do we?
