The Peace Movement
The Vietnam War is a military and moral disaster for the USA. Despite the use of napalm bombs and chemical weapons, the US army is unable to win. Moreover, newspapers and television carry reports of massacres and war atrocities against the civilian population. From the mid-1960s onwards, hundreds of thousands of protestors around the world mobilise for an end to the brutal war, among them mainly students. The movement is particularly active in the USA. Peace activists march together with civil rights groups, as many black Americans, too, are fighting overseas, being senselessly used as cannon-fodder. The 1967 "March on Washington" with 200,000 participants is one of the climaxes of the anti-war and civil rights movement. | In this film version, German interviews and historical or literary quotes remain untranslated.
