Soldiers of Peace is the story of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War and other veterans' transformation from soldiers to peace activists. The film traces their activism through the years, ending at the current war in Iraq, with a new group of veterans who oppose the current war. The film illustrates how Iraq Veterans Against the War are facing many of the same problems faced by the veterans before them. The film locates activism as a new space for these soldiers to continue fighting, albeit in a different and oppositional manner. The film is directed by Denis Mueller.

Whether we like it or not, the global economy now affects us as consumers, as workers, as citizens, and as members of the human family. For those with wealth and power, the global economy has meant big benefits. But what does it mean for the rest of us? Are we destined to be its victims? Or can we shape its future – and our own? Global Village or Global Pillage? shows constructive ways ordinary people around the world are addressing the impact of globalization on their communities, workplaces and environments. It weaves together video of local and transnational activities, interviews, music, and original video comics to show that, through grassroots organizing combined with mutual support around the world, ordinary people can empower themselves to deal with the global economy. Global Village or Global Pillage? is narrated by Emmy winning actor Ed Asner and animated by international labor cartoonist Mike Konopacki. It features anti-sweatshop activist Charles Kernaghan, consumer advocate Ralph Nader, and a cast of billions.
