In defense of eco-terrorism [View all]

I just watched a movie, The East, and that's essentially what is it. There's an argument within it of how far is too far, but the film takes a pretty clear side. It's fictional. It's was a big box office flop, but it's powerfully anti-corporate. Yes, some of the characters verge on the silly, but the portrayal of corporate malfeasance doesn't. The writers have stated that all of the instances of corporate wrongdoing are factual.

I suppose the strongest message in it is the most simple:

Big corporations are destroying the world at a dizzying pace.
