This video chronicles the amazing story of Julia Butterfly Hill's heroic effort to protect a two thousand year old redwood tree. She lived on the tree for over two years, and faced harassment from Pacific Lumber throughout her tree-sit. But the world-wide attention that she gained for the tree helped to preserve it forever.

This video was made by the courageous videographers of the Headwaters Action Video Collective, who followed Julia's experience more closely than anyone else. This is more than just a story of one woman's fierce campaign to save a forest. It is the story of the community of activists who came together to save something magical.

If you're interested in studying civil disobedience, leadership, or environmental politics, this video is for you.
