Six years in the making, “The Boys Who Said NO!” documents the principled stands taken by draft resisters during the Vietnam War. The film reveals the power that young people seized using nonviolent strategies to end the draft and curtail the brutal warfare of three presidents. The film features contemporary interviews mixed with historical footage, plus well-known draft resistance advocates, including Joan Baez, Daniel Ellsberg, David McReynolds, Mandy Carter, Cleveland Sellers (SNCC), Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King, Jr., Dr. Benjamin Spock and many other women and men.
Join us to preview the first 40 minutes of the film, followed by discussion, food and beverages. Your support will help purchase the rights to the archival footage and music essential to completing the film and the studio time for the final edit. Sponsored by We Are Not Your Soldiers and others.
