The Suppressed Story of The GI Movement to end the war in Viet Nam David Ziegler has created a "must-see" documentary which seeks to return to the historical record the pivotal story of the GI anti-war movement during the Vietnam War. This documentary chronicles the resistance to the Vietnam War, beginning in the 1960s. Would you like to watch the sneak preview and trailer on surround sound ; here it is - http://www.sirnosir.com/ Learning that their reality was far different from the one being presented to the American public, many G.I.s began contributing to underground newspapers, planning demonstrations and refusing to continue in battle. Toward the end of the conflict, some even turned on their own officers, tossing grenades into their tents as they slept. "If I had seen this film while I was in Iraq, things would have been much different." --Garett Reppenhagen, Army Sniper and OIF Veteran, Co-Founder of Iraq Veterans Against the War "Sir! No Sir!" combines exceptional artistry and insightful analysis with great story telling. This is no facile agitprop piece, but a careful dissection of a growing military rebellion that permanently altered American society, but has largely been forgotten." --International Documentary Magazine Over the last three months, "Sir! No Sir! The Suppressed Story of the GI Movement to End the War in Vietnam" has played in theaters in over 50 cities, generating excitement, controversy, and rave reviews. If you have not yet seen this film, you need to see it now. And if you have already seen it, then you know how important it is to make sure your friends, co-workers, neighbors and everyone else sees it! While thousands have already seen it, we now have the opportunity to bring this powerful film to hundreds of thousands, millions of people in every corner of the country. It's often said that if we do not know our history, we are doomed to repeat it. Help bring new people into the Iraq antiwar movement by giving them the chance to hear from G.I.s themselves why and how they became some of the most outspoken opponents of the Vietnam War. In response to the many requests made to the filmmakers, a limited edition DVD of "Sir! No Sir!", along with the powerful flash animation by Not Your Soldier and Ruckus Productions, Punk Ass Crusade, is available for just $19.95, plus shipping and handling. And to sweeten the package, the distributors of the film will make a small donation to United for Peace and Justice for each DVD sold in response to this email and via our website! From the beginning, word-of-mouth and the internet have been the main ways news of this film has spread. Now we can help spread the word even further. Please send this email out to your own lists and make sure everyone who wants to see an end to the war in Iraq sees this film! Because this film is so relevant to today's antiwar work, the producers are offering DVDs free to people in the military: Would you like to watch the sneak preview and trailer on surround sound ; here it is - http://www.sirnosir.com/ 2- In March 2005, the Iraq Veterans Against the War held their first national meeting in a hotel just outside Fort Bragg, NC. The small gathering proved too controversial to receive any notice from the mainstream media. Yet in less than a year, the organization grew from a handful of members to several hundred GIs and combat veterans of the "Global War on Terror." As images of war crimes in Iraq began trickling back to the U.S. public these veterans emerged from the shadows to confirm atrocities committed in the name of freedom. Reveille! Reveille! chronicles the Iraq Veterans Against the War in their earliest attempts to prevent further atrocities and regain their humanity. These films follow this generation of veterans from their initial gathering to their stand at the gates of the White House, which resulted in the largest mass arrest by U.S. Park Police since the Vietnam War. Reveille! Reveille! is an eye-opening experience for anyone who has questions about the war. Watch trailer here : http://www.reveillefilm.com See you there !
