State Street, Chicago, IL, 60605 SUMMARY:Chicago Public Library Event - POV Film Screening: If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front DESCRIPTION:

If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front explores two of America’s most pressing issues — environmentalism and terrorism — by lifting the veil on a radical environmental group the FBI calls America’s “number one domestic terrorism threat.” Daniel McGowan, a former member of the Earth Liberation Front, faces life in prison for two multimillion-dollar arsons against Oregon timber companies. What turned this working-class kid from Queens into an eco-warrior? Marshall Curry (Oscar®-nominated Street Fight, POV 2005) provides a nuanced and provocative account that is part coming-of-age story, part cautionary tale and part cops-and-robbers thriller. Winner of Best Documentary Editing Award, 2011 Sundance Film Festival.

A co-production of ITVS in association with American Documentary | POV, with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This film premiered on September 13, 2011 with an encore broadcast on October 11, 2012. This event is a collaboration with the award-winning documentary series POV (www.pbs.org/pov).
