If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front.
Nominated for a 2011 Academy Award, a documentary which tells the remarkable story of a young American environmentalist involved with the Earth Liberation Front - a group the FBI came to describe as America's 'number one domestic terrorism threat'. For years, the ELF - operating in separate anonymous cells without any central leadership - had launched spectacular attacks against dozens of logging companies they accused of destroying the environment. In December 2005, Daniel McGowan was arrested by federal agents in a nationwide sweep of radical environmentalists involved with the ELF. Part coming-of-age tale, part thriller, the film interweaves a verite chronicle of Daniel as he faces life in prison, with a dramatic recounting of the events that led to his involvement with the group.

Britain's Empty Homes
On: BBC 1
Time: 11:00 to 11:30
Gas technician David Hall and his wife Heather, an architectural student, plan to downsize to a smaller house not too far from their present home in Ingatestone, Essex. David and Heather are keen to be green, and what better way to start than by recycling an empty house. They're hoping this will allow their 400,000 pound budget to stretch so they can afford to install as many eco features as they can. But it's not going to be easy being green as they've never done an eco renovation before. Jules Hudson is on hand to help them explore some of the options, introducing them to some green renovators who've taken advantage of empty homes to create their eco dreams.
