Fires in the Night

"Fires in the Night" unveils the gripping true story of the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), a radical group that embarked on a clandestine campaign in the late 1990s to combat environmental destruction through politically motivated arsons. As they targeted industries linked to ecological harm, the ELF was branded a significant domestic terrorism threat, prompting one of the FBI’s largest investigations. Through extensive reporting and firsthand interviews, journalist Matthew Wolfe explores the group's rise, internal dynamics, and the broader implications of their actions on the environmental movement, ultimately questioning the ethics of resistance in the face of a climate crisis.
