Synopsis:
NIGHT MOVES is the story of three radical environmentalists coming
together to execute the most intense protest of their lives: the
explosion of a hydroelectric dam—the very source and symbol of the
energy sucking, resource-devouring industrial culture they despise.
Harmon is a former Marine, radicalized by tours of duty overseas. His
life in the military is behind him, but at heart he remains the same
reckless alpha male he always was, eager for adventure, excited by the
prospect of mayhem and destruction. Dena is a high society dropout,
sickened by the consumer economy into which she was born. She’s moved
west and cut ties with her family, edging ever deeper into radical
politics. And Josh, their leader, is a self-made militant, devoted to
the protection of the Earth by any means necessary. A son of the middle
class who works on an organic farm, he’s an intensely private person by
nature and may have the deepest convictions of them all.NIGHT MOVES is a tale of suspense and a meditation on the consequences of political extremism. When do legitimate convictions truly demand illegal behaviors? What happens to a person’s political principles when they find their back against the wall?
