On the ground, the police methodically and intentionally apply pepper spray to the eyes of protesters while loggers chase and threaten activists, culminating with the death of an activist. Julia has troubles of her own as Pacific Lumber puts her under a dangerous siege.

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.

She has a real inner-strength, and you have to admire that, as nutty as she may be.
