The San Francisco Chronicle called the film “An ode to the power of activism”. On Sunday at 5 pm PDT an hour-long livestream event will feature a discussion with Joan Baez, Daniel Ellsberg, David Harris, Mandy Carter and film director Judith Ehrlich. The event will include an update from Mac Hamilton of Womens Action for New Directions (WAND) on pending federal legislation that would require young women to register for the draft.
