Clearcut . R. Bugajski. 1991.

Drama. VHS. 98 minutes. (F. R. C. Graham Greene, Raoul Trujillo.)

When a lawyer (Ron Lea) loses an appeal to stop a logging company from clear-cutting Native American land, Arthur, an Indian militant (Graham Greene) drags him and the kidnapped logging mill manager into the forest. The lawyer's empty talk about how the company's greed should be punished is put into brutal action by Arthur, who tortures the manager in allegorical ways mimicking what loggers do to the forest.
