Soldiers Are Refusing to Fight!
Sunday Nov 16, 5PM @ 2640 (2640 St. Paul St.)
A Night with Iraq War Resisters
Featuring speakers from Iraq Veterans Against the War, Courage to Resist, DCOI, and 2 Videos!
Hundreds, if not thousands, of U.S. soldiers are refusing to fight in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many soldiers have sought refuge in Canada. Others have stayed in the country to join the movement against the war. Come to this incredible event to learn more about the war resistors reasoning, ambitions, motivations and struggles, as they fight to end these illegal and immoral occupations.
DESERTER
'Deserter' is the journey a deserting soldier and his young wife as they
flee across the country to seek refugee status over the Canadian border.
As they move from safe house to safe house, we get to know Ryan and Jen -
two, shy, small-town kids from the Central Valley who joined the military
because there were no jobs, and find they must make a heroic stand in
order to escape an illegal and immoral war. 'Deserter' is a political road
movie with one of the few happy endings that this war has given us.
BREAKING RANKS
Breaking Ranks is a moving documentary that examines the current phenomena
of US soldiers seeking refuge in Canada as part of their resistance to the
war effort in Iraq. With intimate access to four American military
deserters, their lawyer and families, this film documents their
experiences as they try to exercise their consciences amidst profound
emotional, ethical and international consequences. If deported, they face
the venom of mainstream American opinion and one to five year s in prison.
