Half a century ago, young Americans coming of age watch as President Johnson
suddenly launches a war in Vietnam, drafting a thousand men a day to go into combat,
and then watch again as the war proves brutal and senseless.
Though many find a way out, some decide to resist, openly refusing the call to duty
as an act of conscience, provoking arrest to build opposition and stop the war.
