Film Summary 

In the 1960's 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 flourished in army stockades, navy
brigs and in the dingy towns that surround military bases. It penetrated
elite military colleges like West Point. And it spread throughout the
battlefields of Vietnam. It was a movement no one expected, least of all
those in it. 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.

The Vietnam War has been the subject of hundreds of films, both fiction
and non-fiction, but this story-the story of the rebellion of thousands
of American soldiers against the war-has never been told in film. This
is certainly not for lack of evidence. By the Pentagon's own figures,
503,926 "incidents of desertion" occurred between 1966 and 1971;
officers were being "fragged" (killed with fragmentation grenades by
their own troops) at an alarming rate; and by 1971 entire units were
refusing to go into battle in unprecedented numbers. In the course of a
few short years, over 100 underground newspapers were published by
soldiers around the world; local and national antiwar GI organizations
were joined by thousands; thousands more demonstrated against the war at
every major base in the world in 1970 and 1971, including in Vietnam
itself; stockades and federal prisons were filling up with soldiers
jailed for their opposition to the war and the military.

Yet few today know of these history-changing events.
