New Film Chronicles The Redwood Forest's Greatest Unsolved Mystery

Thursday, March 29, 2012 WATCH: New Film Chronicles The Redwood Forest's Greatest Unsolved Mystery SAN FRANCISCO -- On May 24, 1990, a car bomb ripped through environmental activist Judi Bari's Subaru while she was driving with fellow activist Darryl Cherney in Oakland. Cherney was injured, and Bari, a 40-year-old single mother of two, was nearly killed in the assassination attempt. But instead of focusing on recovery, Bari spent the final ten years of her life fighting to overturn FBI and police accusations that she had planted the bomb herself. In a new documentary "Who Bombed Judi Bari?" Cherney and director Mary Liz Thomson chronicle Bari and Cherney's battle for truth that eventually cleared their names, saved thousands of acres of old-growth redwood forest and defeated the FBI and police in a $4.4 million civil rights lawsuit.
