"Sir! No Sir!" & "This Is Where We Take Our Stand (Work-In-Progress)" plus Q&A with dir. David Zeiger and Vietnam veteran Carl Dix
Sir! No Sir!
(Dir. David Zeiger, 2005, 84 min.)
Like the Vietnam War itself, the GI Antiwar Movement started small and within a few years had exploded into a force that altered history. The movement was never characterized by one organization or leader but from the 500,000 GIs who deserted over the course of the war to the untold numbers who wore peace signs, defied military discipline and avoided combat, a counter-culture was created that threatened the entire military culture of the time and changed the course of the war. Sir! No Sir! reflects on this war and this movement.
This Is Where We Take Our Stand (Work-In-Progress)
Dir. David Zeiger, 2010, 20 min.

WINTER SOLDIERS: Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan (January 20th - 27th & 30th at the Maysles Cinema). With Winter Soldiers: Iraq and Afghanistan, the veteran and active duty led inquiry of 2008 and its inspiration - the original Winter Soldier Investigation of 1971 (and the film by the same name) - as bookends, this series explores the soldier's point of view in these conflicts as well as their role in the genesis of any critique of these wars.
