About the film :
In
association with Independent Television Service
The story
of World War II conscientious objectors (WWII CO) Most WWII
COs served as non‑combatants in the armed services. Many
worked in civilian public service camps, served as medical
guinea pigs and helped reform the mental health system.
Those who went to prison fought to integrate the Federal
prisons. After the war COs changed America in many ways.
They were pioneers in the civil Rights movement, founded the
anti‑nuclear movement, created Pacifica Radio and helped
guide the anti‑vietnam war movement……
"in a time
when it's again easy to endorse any military response to the
savagery of terrorists, the 'The Good War' provides a
necessary reminder that pacifists also can be heroic and
natriotic."

Missing
Peace - Women of Faith and the Failure of War
Doc/DVD/46min./Col./USA |
Director & Producer Duo
Anne Macksoud , John Ankele
About the film:
The "War on Terrorism" is
premised on a view of the world as a battleground upon which the forces of good
are confronting the forces of evil in a religious struggle of apocalyptic
proportions. All sides are drawing upon a worldview that dates back to the
origins of the patriarchal monotheisms in the deserts of the Middle East.
Christians, Muslims and Jews
have used the notion of a divine mandate to justify violence and warfare ever
since.
In this 46 minute documentary,
six women ‑ all visionaries and activists ‑ allow us to see how their work in
the world is inspired by their respective faith traditions and how, at their
core, all three traditions teach peace rather than violence...
