Sir! No Sir!

Sir! No Sir! tells for the first time on film the story of the 1960s GI movement against the war in Vietnam, a pivotal moment in history that has been erased from public memory. This unheralded rebellion emerged in army stockades, navy brigades, and elite military colleges like West Point, spreading throughout the battlefields of Vietnam and infesting the entire armed services by 1971. Hundreds were jailed for attempting to organize discussion groups or distribute antiwar leaflets, while thousands went on strike or defected - leaving a profound impact that altered the course of history. Through interviews with veterans and hitherto unseen archival material, this documentary brings to life the extraordinary story of how so many soldiers resisted their orders, spoke out against the war, and became part of a movement that reshaped the very fabric of American society.
