Judi Bari gives her death-bed testimony about a car bombing that nearly killed her in 1990 and talks about organizing the radical environmental movement Earth First.

Sheri Linden

Los Angeles Times

Though its early sections feel repetitive and self-congratulatory, the doc's tension builds in the way director Mary Liz Thomson uses archival material, much of it from TV news.

Rated: 3/5

Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

A moving if sometimes overly exhaustive examination of the mystery behind the 1990 car bombing of environmental activists.

Ronnie Scheib

Variety

The film, produced by Cherney, makes a clear and cogent case (later upheld by a court verdict) that police and FBI falsified evidence in order to discredit Bari's cause.

Brent Simon

Shared Darkness

An engaging document of Bari's eventual exoneration (in her own bombing), but also a nonfiction tribute to the steel-spined spirit of Bari and other dedicated non-violent activists.

Rated: B+

Powerful and inspiring; provides a comprehensive history of how a grass roots group of activists saved our coastal redwoods from total annihilation by clear cutting junk bond laden corporate loggers and how the FBI and law enforcement sided with corporate interests against peaceful, law abiding citizens. Wonderful footage and music documents a unique time, place and people. Don't miss it!

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

A poignant and uplifting story of environmental activists who survive a murder attempt only to then be subjected to police and FBI corruption. A very worthwhile film.
