Synopsis
Protestor John Quigley has lived in a 400 year old oak tree for 71 days trying to save it from being chopped down due to new highway. The protest movement evolved into something much bigger than just one tree, drawing great media attention and a large crowd from cheerleaders to native Americans. The oak became the "proverbial line in the sand" between nature, and the voracious urban sprawl of Los Angeles. Can one weigh the value of nature against real estate development? What is "progress"?
