Butterfly (2001)

Living in an ancient redwood tree for more than two years to prevent the tree from being clear-cut, Julia Butterfly Hill captured our hearts and minds by showing us that one person can make a difference. Through interviews with Hill, filmmaker Doug Wolens paints a portrait of an intensely spiritual and articulate woman who encountered both beauty and horror (she was assaulted by lumber company helicopters at one point) during her time above ground. survival, female protagonist, spiritual, nature, corporate greed, deforestation, logging, protestors, enviroment, activism, redwoods, environmental documentary, forestry, trees
