Woops! I forgot "Your Mommy Kills Animals" about the animal rights movement, and covers the mainstream organizations that have lost most credibility with activists, and the radicals within the movement, which has spawned many getting arrested (often for going into animal testing labs and liberating test animal (se the website for SHAC), under the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. There's also a film on the criminalization of environmental activists, and does concern itself with the fringe movement that will destroy property. But damned if I can think of it right now.
