Thank you, Sue. I'll take a look at that. Sounds promising.

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. Sue E.

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.
