DESCRIPTION:Sir! No Sir! Sacramento Screening Set for October 25\n\nThe Untold Story of 
 the GI Movement to End the Vietnam War\n“Perfectly Timed with New Doubts 
 about the Iraq War” (Variety)\n\nSACRAMENTO —Documentary filmmaker 
 David Zeiger’s highly acclaimed Sir! No Sir! -- winner of many film 
 festival awards -- will be screened at the Coloma Community Center 
 Auditorium on Wednesday, October 25, sponsored by the local cable programs 
 “Media Edge" and “Sacramento Soapbox".\n\nSir! No Sir! energetically 
 reveals the untold story of the GI movement to end the war in Vietnam. This 
 is the story of one of the most vibrant and widespread upheavals of the 
 1960s – one that had a profound impact on American society, yet has been 
 virtually obliterated from the collective memory of that time. This hidden 
 history combines fast-paced archival footage with thoughtful interviews, 
 “perfectly timed with new doubts about the Iraq War” (Variety).\n\nThe 
 screening, on Wednesday, October 25, at 7:00 pm, will occur at the Coloma 
 Community Center Auditorium (4623 T Street in Sacramento). \n\nSir! No Sir! 
 explores a fascinating 1960’s anti-war movement that altered the course 
 of history. This movement didn’t take place on college campuses, but in 
 barracks and on aircraft carriers. 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.\n\nMore information about the film is available at 
 www.sirnosir.com.\n\nAdmission is $5-$10. All proceeds will support ongoing 
 efforts to create local progressive media productions, including the Media 
 Edge and Sacramento Soapbox series that are seen on local cable stations in 
 the Sacramento area.\n\n
