Daniel McGowan’s t-shirt showing a picture of George W.
Bush with the caption “International Terrorist” just about sums up the way he
encounters the world. That he chose to wear that shirt while a documentary film
crew was interviewing him during his house arrest prior to receiving a criminal
sentence indicates that knowing what a shorthand signal it is, he wants the
audience to know just how far to the left he stands from the political fence.
I’m going to make a bold guess in saying that how you respond to the message on
his shirt will be a fairly accurate litmus test for your opinion of the
environmental warriors that are the subject of If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front.
