Event Details
Friday Harbor Film Festival’s FREE Best of the Fest series will show The Boys Who Said NO! at the San Juan Island Library. Following the film, Director Judith Ehrlich will appear by livestream to speak about the film and answer audience questions. For those who can’t attend in person, the movie will be livestreamed free at 7 pm on the website: fhff.org.
The Boys Who Said No! is the first documentary film to profile the young men and women who actively opposed the military draft to end the Vietnam War. Their personal and collective acts of nonviolent resistance were a critical part of the antiwar movement, intensifying opposition to the war and eventually forcing an end to both conscription and the war.
