The soldiers vow not to interfere with the rebels\u0027 progress and merely shepherd them along to their destination. At that point, having obtained their goal, they will be released. The film crew\u0027s coverage is meant to insure that the military\u0027s intentions are honorable. As the representatives of the 60\u0027s counter-culture get nearer to passing this arbitrary test, the soldiers become increasingly hostile, attempting to force the hippies out of their pacifist behavior. A lot of this film appears improvised and in several scenes real tempers seem to flare as some of the \u0022acting\u0022 got overaggressive. This is a interesting exercise in situational ethics. The cin\u00e9ma v\u00e9rit\u00e9 style, hand-held camera, and ambiguous demands of the director - would the actors be able to maintain their roles given the hazing they were taking - pushed some to the brink. The cast\u0027s emotions are clearly on the surface. Unfortunately this film has gone completely underground and is next to impossible to find. It would offer a captivating document of the distrust that existed between soldiers willfully serving in the military and those persons who opposed the war peacefully.","wins":0,"nominations":0,"casts":[{"name":"Patrick Boland","code":"nm0092688","characters":"First Tribunal Defendant"},{"name":"Kent Foreman","code":"nm1778373","characters":"Defendant in the tribunal"},{"name":"Carmen Argenziano","code":"nm0034492","characters":"Jay Kaufman, Tribunal Defendant"},{"name":"Luke Johnson","code":"nm1777034","characters":"Defendant in the tribunal"},{"name":"Katherine Quittner","code":"nm1862063","characters":"Nancy Smith"},{"name":"Scott Turner","code":"nm1777179","characters":"James Arthur Kohler, Tribunal Defendant"},{"name":"Stan Armsted","code":"nm0035595","characters":"Charles Robbins"},{"name":"Mary Ellen Kleinhall","code":"nm0459095","characters":"Allison Mitchner"},{"name":"Mark Keats","code":"nm0444190","characters":"William C.
