- Activists arrive in Seattle, Washington en masse to protest a meeting of the World Trade Organization. Riots and chaos ensue as demonstrators successfully stop the WTO meetings.
- The documentary transports viewers directly into the ancient redwood forests of Humboldt County, California, where groups of activists have elevated forms of resistance to new heights. Julia Hill and dozens of others camped high in the treetops for months, while those surrounded by clearcuts utilized creative nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience to slow chainsaws, drawing attention to the destruction of ancient forests. The film offers an insider's perspective on the Earth First. movement, including its Save Headwaters Forest campaign, the attempted murder of activist Judi Bari, the bullying of young activists sitting on the ground with tear gas in their eyes, and the establishment of permanent "tree camps" tens of meters above the ground. It culminates in mass protests against the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Seattle.
- On December 10, 1997, young American Julia Hill radically changed her life. She moved to an 80-meter-high thousand-year-old sequoia tree in the forests of northern California and lived on it for 738 days to protect it from being cut down. The film includes interviews with this determined young woman, delves into her personal decisions, and also includes footage from protests against logging.
- The documentary breathes life into the revived ancient techniques of constructing buildings from mud. It opens the door to the joy of building self-sufficient houses with one's own hands, using mud, sand, and clay. The film not only demonstrates how to build such houses but also guides viewers on creating a community and reducing its impact on the environment.
- A documentary shedding light on two corporations and their practices. The Mendocino Redwood Company engages in massive clear-cut logging operations, while Gap Inc. manages a network of sweatshops where clothes are produced in challenging conditions by workers receiving low wages. Activists from the Headwaters Action Video Collective have compiled materials collected over the years from various protests. The documentary covers protests against the Louisiana-Pacific mining corporation (Maxxam, Inc), which was acquired by businessman Donald Fisher, the founder of Gap, along with his wife Doris. It further explores recent protests against the Mendocino Redwood Company and scenes from Seattle, where environmentalists, union members, and socio-political activists unite in the streets to protest against human rights and environmental crimes.
