A fictional feature film about the real life absurdity of the U.S. government labeling animal liberators as "domestic terrorists". Bold Native weaves an intricate tale of one of the most important issues facing America and the world morally and ecologically – the impact and consequences of industrialized animal use. And with a character who faces prosecution and potential lifetime imprisonment under the recently passed Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) for property crimes currently considered terrorism, the film also illuminates the danger of corporate interests influencing the law in a post-9/11 world.
Here is a powerpoint presentation from the U.S. State Department's Overseas Security Advisory Board. The presentation is geared toward corporations that rely on or support animal exploitation. The entire slideshow seems illogical, even stupid. At one point it claims that the world's oldest and largest animal rights conference is a place where "extremists" gather.
