The East

27th out of 365.

There was an academy award nominated movie called "If a Tree Falls: The Story of the Earth Liberation Front", that didn't really cause me to empathize with the eco-terrorism. However, the fictional story of the The East did give some angles that made me think harder about the acts of eco-terrorism.

An ex-FBI Christian agent joins a private investigative firm that wants to infiltrate The East terrorist group to attain contracts for the world's largest corporations. She has a boyfriend who is a bit of a dingus, he remains a dingus the entire movie, that believes she is going to Dubai, when really she travels about 2 hours to a house in a forest. 

Ellen Page and Alexander Skarsgaard lead this team of hippies and perform "jams". These jams all have a personal connections to the members of The East. The personal vendettas make it difficult to know if they have the purest intentions behind their acts, in the end that doesn't matter. The hippies get hippier and do some crazy things and then everything is gray.

 

Judgement: Send Away for It.
