Investigation of a Flame and Which Way is East?
On May 17, 1968 nine Vietnam War protesters, including a nurse, and
artist and 3 priests, walked into a Catonsville Maryland draft board
office, grabbed hundreds of selective service records and burned them
with homemade napalm. Their photos, trial publicity and new of their
harsh 2 year prison sentence helped to galvanize an already disillusioned
American public. Sachs interviews Catonsville Nine members, Danel and
Phillip Berrigan and others, allowing contradictions, regrets and ambivalence
to be revealed as part of the complexities of aging.
With Lynn Sachs in person.
