| Summary: | This documentary focuses on the anti-war movement within the armed forces. Interviews with Vietnam veterans, including a navy nurse, are interwoven with archival photos, film footage, and popular music of the 1960s. One nurse coordinated an air drop of anti-war leaflets over her naval base for which she was court-martialed. A black soldier spent time in the stockade for his protest of the military's racial discrimination. This film highlights the intersection of the civil rights and anti-war movements, and the ethics of whether to follow orders that one feels are immoral. |
