I recommend The East. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1869716/
Find it in a theatre or on-line.
It is timely, provocative, and well-done.
Excerpt (lower down on the website):
The film follows Jane Owen (Marling), an undercover security agent, as she leaves behind her doting boyfriend (Jason Ritter) to infiltrate an eco-terrorist group known as The East, who have publicly targeted massive corporations for their covered-up crimes against humans and nature. . . . Jane slowly grows fascinated with the group, its morals and goals, and its core, . . . observing with a mix of horror and infatuation as they execute their violent “jams” on the corporations’ key members.
. . . It makes for an uncomfortably provocative watch: as we learn more about the characters, their backgrounds, and the corporations’ crimes (which are based in fact), it’s hard to determine who the “bad guys” are. I saw the film at a festival where Batmanglij gave a short Q&A after and he revealed that he, Marling, and Page had lived with similar groups (without the terrorism) before and were sympathetic with the East’s cause, if not their methods.
I highly recommend making time to find and see this movie.
Whether it’s
- the petroleum industry (in the movie, in the Tar Sands, in Jessica Ernst’s life, or elsewhere)
- the pharmaceutical industry (in the movie, and discussed many times in emails)
- the war industry (Audrey Tobias, my trial, etc.)
- the uranium/nuclear industry
- the chemical/biotech corporations (March Against Monsanto)
- all of them in Government and in the Universities
it is past time to figure out what to do about them.
There are more than enough of us.
