Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times 12/07/2012
3/5
Though its early sections feel repetitive and self-congratulatory, the doc's tension builds in the way director Mary Liz Thomson uses archival material, much of it from TV news. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 11/19/2012
A moving if sometimes overly exhaustive examination of the mystery behind the 1990 car bombing of environmental activists. Go to Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety 11/19/2012
The film, produced by Cherney, makes a clear and cogent case (later upheld by a court verdict) that police and FBI falsified evidence in order to discredit Bari's cause. Go to Full Review Brent Simon Shared Darkness 12/08/2012
B+
An engaging document of Bari's eventual exoneration (in her own bombing), but also a nonfiction tribute to the steel-spined spirit of Bari and other dedicated non-violent activists. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

12/19/2012 Powerful and inspiring; provides a comprehensive history of how a grass roots group of activists saved our coastal redwoods from total annihilation by clear cutting junk bond laden corporate loggers and how the FBI and law enforcement sided with corporate interests against peaceful, law abiding citizens. Wonderful footage and music documents a unique time, place and people. Don't miss it! See more 12/07/2012 A poignant and uplifting story of environmental activists who survive a murder attempt only to then be subjected to police and FBI corruption. A very worthwhile film. See more 12/07/2012 This is an important film to see if you care about your First Amendment rights. The film will only be playing in LA for a week so please go see it . See more Read all reviews
