Join us at the Hippodrome Cinema for this acclaimed documentary about the GI movement against the Vietnam War. “Sir, No Sir!” is the story of one of the most vibrant and widespread upheavals of the 1960’s–one that had profound impact on American society, yet has been virtually obliterated from the collective memory of that time.

Tickets are $3 to $10, and available in the lobby 30 min before each show.

The Vietnam War has been the subject of hundreds of films, both fiction and non-fiction, but this story–the story of the rebellion of thousands of American soldiers against the war–has never been told in film. 503,926 “incidents of desertion” occurred between 1966 and 1971; by 1971, entire units were refusing to go into battle in unprecedented numbers; more than 100 underground newspapers were published by soldiers around the world; local and national antiwar GI sprung up across the country; thousands demonstrated against the war at every major base in the world, including in Vietnam itself; stockades and federal prisons filled with soldiers jailed for their opposition to the war.

“Anyone waging war with American troops might want to listen carefully to the largely untold story of David Zeiger’s new documentary“ (Los Angeles Times)

“Perfectly timed with new doubts about the Iraq War.“ (Variety)

“Funky shot of counter-cultural spirit.“ (The London Times)

“Combines exceptional artistry and insightful analysis with great story telling.“ (International Documentary Magazine)
