If A Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front (2011), directed by Marshall Curry, explores the radical environmental movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s, concentrating on the rise and fall of the Earth Liberation Front (ELF).
The film traces the legal, ethical, and strategic dilemmas faced by young activists as well as the government’s response, which classified the ELF as a domestic terrorist organization.
Multiple perspectives are presented through interviews, archival footage, and news reports, leaving the audience to grapple with the moral complexities of eco-sabotage in the fight for environmental justice.
This 85-minute documentary film will be shown for free on Thursday, August 7, 2025 at 7 pm (doors open at 6:30) at the Adirondack History Museum, 7590 Court Street in Elizabethtown, NY.
