Description:
The Camden 28 explores how and why, by raiding government offices and destroying government records, individuals intentionally placed themselves at risk of arrest and imprisonment while protesting the war in Vietnam. The predominant images of American antiwar activism during the Vietnam War consist of young men burning their draft cards, student protests on college campuses, and the various marches on Washington. The Camden 28 offers a unique perspective to this time of protest by looking beyond those ubiquitous images and documenting a lesser-known but potent form of dissent. The film has received funding from the AJ Muste Memorial Institute and is being sponsored by the International Documentary Association. The IDA writes: “The filmmakers have demonstrated high professional standards and the project promises to be a contribution to both the media arts and cultural history."
