On Sundance Channel now (9pm EST): Sir! No Sir! (Vietnam era G.I. anti-war movement)

Sir! No Sir!

While the Vietnam era is remembered for protests on campus and in the streets, less well documented is the resistance movement against the war within the military. Documentary filmmaker David Zeiger recounts the story of the G.I. anti-war movement and the struggles by demoralized men and women in uniform to challenge their government's policies in South East Asia. Interviews with activist veterans and archive film clips provide a sobering reminder of a long-neglected piece of American history. "Smart, timely" - The New York Times.

6. The Ground Truth is on after this:

http://www.sundancechannel.com/films/500063996

Appeared at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival

Patricia Foulkrod's compelling documentary introduces a handful of disillusioned Iraq veterans as they reveal the costly long-term effects of warfare on our soldiers. From deceptive recruiters and crippling basic training exercises to actual combat and lingering post-traumatic stress disorders, THE GROUND TRUTH shows the human toll that results when young people are turned into reactive fighting machines. "An especially pointed indictment of the American military's treatment of its own people on and off the battlefield" � New York Times.
