“Most of this film, however, is about interpretation - are these people terrorists or freedom fighters? Are they good or bad? Is cutting timber good or bad? And I don't feel like the answers to those questions are simple, so we don't try to answer them for the audience. I wanted to elicit the strongest - and most heartfelt - arguments from the characters in the film and let those arguments bang up against the strongest arguments of their opponents.” PeopleTryingCharacterFilmSimpleAudienceCuttingArgumentTerroristFighterHeartfeltFreedom Fighter Author:Marshall Curry
