02/27/2014 Decent documentary but nothing to write home about. See more 09/04/2013 great doc expaining in detail the antiwar efforts by a group attempting to destroy draft files for the Vietnam war. The group explains the hows and whys of their attack on the draft board office, followed by their trial. See more 08/06/2011 A great documentary about the Camden 28 trial. See more 03/21/2011 Why this hasn't been made a feature film yet is beyond me. Epic story, characters, setting and timeframe. And all of it true. See more 03/07/2011 Hopeful, inspiring and useful. I feel a knot in my gut when I watch films or documents that involve religion, however this documentary is about good people with fearless consciences that also happen to be Catholic. See more 03/05/2011 MmmmKay..I thought I reviewed this once, but this app is so clunky, it apparently didn't take. A surprisingly good documentary, given I only stumbled on it at the library today. It recalls one of the many anti-Vietnam war protests of the 60's and early 70's, where protesters broke into draft board offices and either burned or destroyed records. In this case in Camden, NJ, the protesters, largely left wing Catholics, were betrayed by one of their own, only to see the Nixon administration and Hoover Justice Dept. screw up the case. This had to be one of J. Edgar Hoover's last big investigations before he went to that big drag bar in the sky. He never lived to see the unusual trial and verdict. See more Read all reviews
