 Additional info:   >THE FOREST FOR THE TREES  Judi Bari v. the FBI  54 
 minutes  directed by Bernadine Mellis  In 1990, environmentalist and union 
 organizer Judi Bari's car was  bombed.  Within three hours of the bombing, 
 Bari was accused of  transporting the explosives that had nearly killed 
 her.  Still in the  hospital, she was arrested, and labeled a terrorist in 
 the national  >media.  "The Forest for the Trees follows" Judi Bari's 
 story,  >culminating in her First Amendment case against the FBI.  At the  
 >heart of the film, made by Bari's lawyer's daughter, is Bari, a folk hero  
 >with an electrifying on-screen presence, and the legal battle against  
 >law enforcement that few believed she could win.  Bernadine Mellis'  first 
 film, Born,  is an experimental short that has screened  at galleries and 
 festivals in San Francisco (recently at The Lab's "Inside of  Inside" and 
 Madcat International Women's Film Festival) and New York City  (including 
 Galapagos Gallery, the Pioneer Theater, and Lady Fest East). The  Golden 
 Pheasant, an Orphan's Tale, a children's story Mellis wrote and directed,  
 has also screened in museums and schools nationally , as well as on public  
 television. Her father's role as lead attorney in Earth First! activist 
 Judi  Bari's civil case led Mellis to make The Forest for the Trees , her 
 first  documentary.  \n
