Summary:
In 2008, as George W. Bush tried to gift the energy and mining industries thousands of acres of pristine Utah wilderness via a widely disputed federal auction, college student Tim DeChristopher monkey-wrenched the process.

Bidder 70 tells the story of this peaceful warrior whose willingness to sacrifice has ignited the climate justice movement.
