relevant to the Veterans theme.
Disobeying Orders: G. I. Resistance to The Vietnam War
This documentary focuses on the anti-war movement within the armed
forces. It highlights the intersection of the civil rights and anti-
war movements, and the ethics of whether to follow orders which one
feels are immoral.

I wonder if I could enlist the help of folks on this project?:
1. A colleague of mine in multicultural counseling studies is trying
to find a documentary film concerning an Iraq War vet trying to
understand Islam. It is not the film of US military guard Terry
Holdbrooks, who converted to Islam. It is another related story,
about an American Iraqi War vet and Iraqi-American community college
student meeting and working through their issues and differences. Any
help would be appreciated. I seem to be striking out with a Google-
fail brain freeze.
2. Said colleague would like to use this story as a kind of thematic
lead for a series of 5-6 films on the theme of "Veteran/Veterans." In
this context I think veteran can be widely interpreted, from
something *about* veterans, in the sense of Coming Home perhaps (not
a documentary, I realize) to videos more conceptual in approach.
"Veterans" of immigration conflicts, for instance.
If any of you have some suggestions I would greatly appreciate any
serious tips.
If any of you have some recent productions that might fit, that would
be of interest also.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of
issues relating to the selection, evaluation,
acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current
and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It
is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for
video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between
libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
