I dont know how people can watch this movie and not be on the side of ELF. I understand they faced poor organization but they were facing such a large and seemingly indestructible industry. One that didnt only affect the environment but the communities they based themselves in. That bit of the horse blood getting into the town's drinking water was terrifying. A good look into the cost of fighting for what is right.
