*******************************

This week, the Human Rights Film Series concludes with the
*Champaign-Urbana premiere* of SIR! NO SIR!. The Human Rights Film Series
is an opportunity for campus and community members to come together to
view and discuss films pertinent to those issues that face us all.
Following each film, there will be a discussion facilitated by a local
campus or community member who has expertise on the topic of the
documentary. The films will be shown using IDF's newly purchased projector
and large screen. Light snacks and refreshments will be available!

SIR! 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."
