The story of the ELF summarized into four words: never trust a junkie. :rolleyes:

The movie made me respect Daniel McGowan, but he was one of the only people in that group of individuals worthy of respect. Most of the others came off as selfish idiots..."oh, well, when you're looking at prison then it's hard not to sell your friends out" Well then you shouldn't have done the action you selfish tool. At least McGowan actually held true to his beliefs and refused to testify against his co-conspirators.

There's a couple choice moments of unbelievable police brutality against non-violent protestors in that movie.

a few points:

- the documentary insinuates the ELF started in the US rather than Britain
- McGowan claims he studied business and worked for a PR company, online it says he studied acupuncture

sup with those inaccuracies?
