Those Who Refused the Draft During VietNam Here I am in 1967, drafted and in the Army. But I always wondered about the men who had refused to be part of the Vietnam War. How had they resisted, and why? Of course, I also wondered what had happened to them for taking a stand against the war. This is their story.
I interviewed twelve men who resisted the draft in some way during the Vietnam War. I finally picked five, two who went to jail, two who went to Canada, and one who burned his draftcard. The film is made up of these interviews, at times insightful, at times disturbing and often emotionally revealing. These men paid a high price for their resistance, but in their own minds often got back so much more.
