Join us for the the untold story of the GI movement against the war in Vietnam... In the 1960s, an anti-war movement emerged that altered the course of history. This movement didn’t take place on college campuses, but in barracks and on aircraft carriers. It penetrated elite military colleges like West Point. And it spread throughout the battlefields of Vietnam. Hundreds went to prison and thousands into exile. And by 1971 it had, in the words of one colonel, infested the entire armed services. Yet today few people know about the GI movement against the war in Vietnam.

Following the movie there will be a brief eyewitness report by Dr. Sharat Lin on the Sept 15 march and "die-in" in Washington, D.C., that was led by Iraq Veterans Against the War, and info on the upcoming regional march and rally in San Francisco.
