Bill Prince will screen an almost-final cut of the Judith Ehrlich-directed documentary “The Boys Who Said No: Draft Resistance and the Vietnam War.” Ehrlich directed the critically acclaimed documentary on Daniel Ellsberg: “The Most Dangerous Man in America.”

“The film tells the often overlooked story of the draft resistance to the American war in Vietnam. This film is an important document, not only about how the resistance to the war changed the course of things, but it provides a critical lesson about the power of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience. The film presents clear links between the civil rights movement, the antiwar movement, and action spurred on by ethics and conscience. It offers a way forward for people who are fighting to save the planet or who are opposing bad government, in all its various forms. In short, the film shows a way to a more humane path. “
