Tomorrow afternoon, Sunday Oct. 25th at 2pm at the U-C Independent Media Center
(202 S. Broadway), AWARE Films will show David Zeiger's documentary film, 

          "Sir!  No Sir!"

on the history of resistance within the US military to the Vietnam war.
>From the film's web site:

    It tells the long suppressed 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 1960’s - one that had a profound
    impact on American society yet has been virtually obliterated
    from the collective memory of that time.

Resistance to senseless war within the ranks of the military
became a powerful force in Vietnam War time, and it is
powerful today -- look at Iraq Veterans Against the War and
the modern Winter Soldier movement.

(We'll be in the cozy Family Room, in the basement of the IMC.
Look for the steps leading downward from Elm Street,
on the north side of the building.)

Discussion and refreshments afterward.
