Judi Barri and the group of vandals and bullies known collectively as
"Earth First" are hardly an appropriate subject for an International
Womens Day Film.

It would be far more appropriate to show a film about honour killings
and female circumcision in Islamic countries, or perhaps about the women
who are forced into prostitution in many countries, including the UK.
But these are issues that hardly anybody wants to acknowledge.
