September 23rd in Long Beach 7pm RADICAL CINEMA together with Long Beach City College Filmmakers Association PRESENTS Sir! No Sir! a film by David Zeiger This film documents the GI Resistance Movement, which is credited with helping to end the war in Vietnam. Includes interviews with soldiers, nurses and doctors who actively resisted the war. We all know that there was a civilian protest movement against the war in Vietnam. Much of how civilians protested has been written out of U.S. history. The story of military resistance was virtually erased. This movie is one way to counteract this gross and intentional re-writing of history. Please bring a friend with you when you come to watch this inspiring, humorous and sobering movie.
