Redwood Summer is this fascinating snapshot, a kind of grassroots documentary that captures the energy of the 90s environmental movement. It’s a recruitment piece for Earth First! that feels raw and unfiltered. The pacing is a bit uneven, reflecting the chaotic passion of the activists involved. You get this sense of urgency throughout, as they strive to protect the redwoods from logging. The atmosphere is thick with earnestness and a touch of desperation, which I find really compelling. There’s no flashy production here—just real people, real emotions. The practical effects are minimal, mostly just the natural beauty surrounding these activists. It’s grittier than a standard doc, which is what makes it stand out; it’s more of a call to action than a polished narrative.
