Red Cloud Thunder is a film about standing up to the federal government. Chiapas has the
Zapatistas and Oregon has the Cascadians. Named after the warrior chief of the Oglala Dakota
Sioux who had expelled the US Cavalry from his homelands with repeated success; Red Cloud
Thunder is a campaign to save a majestic ancient forest from complete destruction. Behold a
fiercely beautiful resistance to the destruction of the last remaining wilderness in the
Northwest. With an raging soundtrack, this film will ignite the insurrectionary potential
within us all. (30 min.)
Free Radio Berkeley vividly chronicles the adventures of local pirate radio broadcasters as

government censorship and commercial imprisonment. Broadcasting live from riots and the
tops of Redwood trees, this critical film examines freedom of communication in America
today. Viva La Pirate Radio! (15 min.)
Breaking Free is a fast paced journey into the heart of direct action. You are transported to

which all life is treated with equal reverence. (30 min.)
