**in case u don't know: BEYOND THE PATRIOT ACT: Through personal stories of  
ordinary Americans, "Beyond the Patriot Act" tells how a misguided law and 
other  government overreactions to Sept. 11 are restricting our most basic  
constitutional freedoms and threatening America's system of checks and 
balances.

                   PICKAXE: An eclectic mix of activists take a stand to 
protect an old growth  forest from logging at Warner Creek in the Willamette 
National Forest of Oregon,  blockading the logging road and repelling the 
State 
Police. Over months a  community builds around the illegal blockade as it 
develops into the Cascadia  Free State and similar actions spread across the 
region. 
Years after its  release, Pickaxe has become a classic document of the 
potential for grassroots  direct action to achieve victory against the forces 
of both 
government and big  business. Lovingly crafted by the participants 
themselves, the film expertly  presents every moment, from confrontation to  
celebration.**
