• "In the 1960's an anti-war movement emerged that altered the course of history. This movement didn't take place on college campuses, but in barracks and on ships. It flourished in army stockades, navy brigs and in the dingy towns that surround military bases. It penetrated elite military colleges like West Point. And it spread throughout the battlefields of Vietnam. It was a movement no one expected, least of all those in it. Hundreds went to prison and thousands into exile. And by 1971 it had, in the words of one colonel, infested the entire armed services. Yet today few people know about the GI movement against the war in Vietnam."

• This is a special screening of this powerful and disturbing documentary on Gulf War syndrome, the result of the 1991 Desert Storm war in Kuwait and Iraq. Over 200,000 veterans of the Gulf War are now suffering from chronic health problems that in many cases make it impossible for them to work and support their families. This film captures their plight and pain in a compelling and unforgettable way through interviews with a group sick veterans. It also presents an analysis of the many toxic exposures our soldiers faced in the Persian Gulf.New Yorkers will find provocative parallels between the health consequences of prolonged exposure to toxins in the Persian Gulf, including the oil well fires that burned for months, and the exposure of workers and residents in Lower Manhattan to the toxic fumes from the World Trade Center fires.
