Watch Butterfly For Free

Thanks for the memories!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

this is one of those movies that stir your soul, Julia is so committed to her ideals, it is so refreshing to see someone who is standing up for what she believes in. she is so mature in her spirituality and understanding of humans and nature, it is mesmerizing to watch her define what she believes. bravo for Doug to portray her in such a honest light. we need more movies like this. i hope this movie has some legs as they say in the industry. i would love for it to be wide released into DVD format. i am hoping that Doug is able to create more of his masterpieces on film, documentaries are an important method of expressing our society.

This documentary details the struggle over a tree between Earth First activist Julia "Butterfly" and a logging corporation. Butterfly climbs the tree and refuses to come down until the corporation promises never to cut it down. It takes two years.The principals in the conflict and local townsfolk are interviewed and needless to say, everyone has a strongly held opinion. Although the film makers clearly sympathize with Butterfly, I would say they do a good job letting both sides have their say, and the documentary never descends into heavy handed moralizing. It's a complex issue, and no pat answers are provided.A very thought provoking film - take your friends and you're sure to have a spirited debate afterward.
