Also Resistors
Work In Progress
Supported by Finish Line
Synopsis:

Also Resisters considers solidarity across generations and geography. Adapted from a 1968 essay by the queer socialist David E. McReynolds, the short archival film takes the images and sounds of the American war in Vietnam to reflect on the feedback loop between militarism abroad and at home — and the people who resisted it.
