Subtitled "A Tale of Modern Outlaws", James's partisan documentary is an inside account of life among near-fulltime environmental protesters as they prepare and execute their demonstrations in Britain and Denmark. They are an attractive, idealistic bunch, anti-capitalists of an anarchic kind. The film is informative about the way they operate, but a good many questions go unasked.
