"This film is a recipient of several film festival and documentary association awards, tells the formerly suppressed story of the GI movement to end the war in Vietnam. The film documents a movement that had, in the words of one colonel, "infested the entire armed services" by 1971. Using the stories of those involved in the movement as well as archived material, the movie explores the impact this internal resistance had on the military and the war itself while also revealing how and why this movement has been intentionally erased from public memory

Shocking And Awful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ook1dADRGKo

This is the complete series put out by Deep Dish TV, a grassroots satellite network. In response to the attempt to "shock and awe" Iraq into submission, Deep Dish TV put out a call to artists, filmmakers and editors to create a response of resistance. The result is a vivid collage that addresses the war from a variety of angles, including the US occupation from Iraqi perspectives, war profiteers, the privatization of the Iraqi economy, the Homeland Security attack on Arab and Muslim Americans, and the international resistance to the war.

Folks it's *out there* we just have to be part of something bigger, to see it.

Peace Now. Love Always.
