The Draft and the Vietnam Generation will be a 60-minute video documentary that features men from diverse backgrounds who opposed the Vietnam War and defied the draft.
The draft forced young men to ask themselves if they were willing to kill and die in a war half way around the world.
If you were unwilling to fight in what you felt was an unjust war, you had to decide what to do. Should you fake a medical illness, go to college, flee the country for Canada, or challenge the draft by going to prison?
