Released from Prison, Climate Activist Tim DeChristopher on Civil Disobedience & Building Movements
Movie Review
First Run Features
A supporter of the activist Tim DeChristopher in “Bidder 70.”
By JEANNETTE CATSOULIS
Published: May 16, 2013
At the end of 2008, Tim DeChristopher, a young economics student at the University of Utah, strolled into a federal auction of oil
and gas drilling rights to prime Utah wilderness. Although he was
opposed to the auction, which he considered “illegal and unethical,” he
had no plans to disrupt it, but when he was mistakenly handed a paddle,
he chose to use it, knowing that he had no way to pay for the parcels he
would eventually win.

Only if we assume that a poet constantly strives to liberate himself from borrowed styles in search for reality, is he dangerous. In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot. And, alas, a temptation to pronounce it, similar to an acute itching, becomes an obsession which doesn't allow one to think of anything else. That is why a poet chooses internal or external exile. It is not certain, however, that he is motivated exclusively by his concern with actuality.
