Waging Peace in Vietnam: Screening of Sir! No Sir!

SIR! NO SIR! brings to life the history of the GI movement through the stories of those who were part of it, and reveals the explosion of defiance that the movement gave birth to with never-before-seen archival material. The film explores the profound impact that movement had on the military and the war itself along with the story of how and why the GI Movement has been erased from the public memory. Director David Zeiger will participate over Zoom following the screening.

David Zeiger has been making documentary films and series for 25 years. His films include, The Band (PBS), Senior Year (PBS), Funny Old Guys (HBO) and Sir! No Sir! which ran theatrically in 65 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada and was broadcast in 200 countries worldwide. In 2010 Zeiger was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.
