The Boys Who Said NO! captures for the first time the passion, fear and hope of a generation of nonviolent warriors who broke the law to stand for peace. It has been called a playbook for today's BLM and other resistance movements. It begins when one man stands up and publicly burns his draft card in protest against the Vietnam War. His courage is contagious. By the war's end, thousands will be imprisoned for refusing to fight a war they think immoral. They form the vanguard of the largest youth-led resistance movement in U.S. history, end the military draft and help to end the long war in Vietnam. The Boys Who Said NO! by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Judith Ehrlich, is the story of a mass movement of young people who choose conscience over killing, modeling their movement on the civil rights movement that preceded and who ultimately prevail. Ehrlich's exploration of resistance is especially timely as emboldened resistance movements emerge in the U.S. and worldwide.
