I saw this in college and haven’t seen anything like it since … radical is an understatement! These Uber-environmentalists physically place themselves in the way of the logging trucks, and then end up having a sit-in at the local police stations (and are subsequently ripped out by cops in riot gear and zip tie handcuffs). Make up your own opinion … it gets crazy toward the end.

“Pickaxe documents efforts to halt logging at Warner Creek, a federally protected forest in Oregon. Following a suspicious fire in 1991 that cleared the land, Congress suspended environmental regulations to allow logging in the area. Since arson was determined to be the cause of the fire, however, environmental activists argued that allowing logging at Warner Creek would set a bad example and possibly lead to similarly motivated forest fires. What followed was an 11-month battle complete with a 79-day hunger strike and an amazing blockade of a remote mountain logging road. This inspiring documentary shows the power of direct action, determination and good leadership.”
