Sir, No Sir!

Screening on Film
Directed by David Ziegler.
US, 2005, 35mm, color, 85 min.

Sir! No Sir! documents G.I. resistance against the Vietnam War, an important part of the anti-war movement that is often minimized in historical accounts. Using archival footage from the 1960s and 1970s along with present-day interviews with many resisters, the film describes the anti-war counter-culture that developed on bases, on battlefields, and inside military colleges. The film also includes rare footage from Jane Fonda’s “anti-USO” tour, as well as a current-day interview with Fonda in which she defends her controversial actions.
