Luna. The Stafford Giant Tree-sit

Directed by

This is the story of the longest tree-sit in the US history. The Stafford giant redwood tree, also called "Luna", was discovered by "Earth First" during the Fall '97 Headwaters campaign. The tree was blue marked for cutting. In order to save it from the chainsaw, a non-stop tree occupation began. An extraordinary woman named Julia "Butterfly" remained on the tree for two years. The documentary tells about one of the most inspiring acts of civil disobedience ever.
