Description

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.
