REDWOOD SUMMER

30 minutes/Grades 9-Adult

Produced by Stuart Rickey/Redwood Summer Partners

REDWOOD SUMMER documents a season of public demonstrations and
civil disobedience actions against Northern California timber
corporations by environmental action group, Earth First! It
covers the geography of summer-long protests: from small town
Main Street to confrontations with bulldozers deep in an
ancient redwood grove; and chronicles events from the tragic
bombing of two organizers in May 1990 to a raucous Labor Day
parade. Earth Firsters and loggers join in a passionate
conflict: a clash between people who struggle to tell the
world it must change to survive, and an angry community that
resists being told it must change.

• "A program with wide appeal, this can be used in both high
  libraries." Video Rating Guide
  

• "This is a film that tries seriously to show complexity,
  rather than play on opposition, to show how deeply concerned
  the people are whose lives are affected. But it also takes a
  firm stand against the irrationality of cutting old growth
  timber, because there is no surer way to end loggers' jobs and
  livelihood that to cut down the last of the forests." The
