Peace Activists: See WINTER SOLDIER at E Street Cinema! December 9, 2005

In the winter of 1971, a month after the revelations of the My Lai massacre, a public inquiry into war crimes committed by American forces in Vietnam was held at a motel in Detroit. Organized by Vietnam Veterans Against the War with support from Jane Fonda and Mark Lane, more than 125 veterans (including a young John Kerry) spoke of atrocities they had witnessed and committed. Though attended by press and television news crews, almost nothing was reported to the American public. This rarely-seen documentary eerily reminds us that recent tortures and murders of prisoners held in detention by the American military may not be as unprecedented as the government claims.
