Summary:
A documentary focusing on the controversial Endangered Species Committee proceedings over the Northern Spotted Owl and 44 proposed federal timber sales in Southwest Oregon, presented through interviews with cabinet members, staff, committee witnesses, lawyers and people in rural Oregon. While the proceedings ostensibly focused on the owl and timber sales, the controversy was a microcosm of a much larger debate concerning the fate of the Pacific Northwest's old growth forests and the Endangered Species Act.
