If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation 
Front tells the remarkable story of the rise and 
fall of this ELF cell, by focusing on the 
transformation and radicalization of one of its members.

Part coming-of-age tale, part cops-and-robbers 
thrilller, the film interweaves a verite 
chronicle of Daniel on house arrest as he faces 
life in prison, with a dramatic recounting of the 
events that led to his involvement with the 
group. And along the way it asks hard questions 
about environmentalism, activism, and the way we define terrorism.

If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front


Drawing from striking archival footage – much of 
it never before seen –and intimate interviews 
with ELF members, and with the prosecutor and 
detective who were chasing them, If a Tree Falls 
explores the tumultuous period from 1995 until 
early 2001 when environmentalists were clashing 
with timber companies and law enforcement, and 
the word “terrorism” had not yet been altered by 9/11.

Awards it has won:
    * Sundance Film Festival ­ Winner, Documentary Editing Award
    * Dallas Film Festival ­ Winner, Environmental Visions Award
    * Nashville Film Festival ­ Winner, Best Documentary
    * Santa Cruz Film Festival – Winner, EarthVision Environmental Jury Prize
