Meet 23-year-old Arkansas native Julia Butterfly Hill as she arrives in the Headwaters Forest of Northern California to join others who are already protesting against the aggressive logging practices of Pacific Lumber. When organizers look for somebody to “tree-sit” Luna for two weeks, Julia enthusiastically volunteers. But does she really understand what lies ahead?

This award-winning documentary reveals the extraordinary transformation and spiritual journey of a 23-year-old woman who climbed 200 feet up into a redwood tree and lived there for two years in order to save the thousand-year-old-tree from destruction. Julia lived on a platform the size of a coffee table, survived the ordeal of menacing helicopters, and was nearly blown off the tree and thrown to the forest floor by 90 MPH winds. As a result of her courageous act of civil disobedience, Julia is the youngest person thus far inducted into the Ecology Hall of Fame.
