Hit and stay : a history of faith and resistance [videorecording] / by Tropea, Joe; Cyzyk, Skizz; Zinn, Howard; Goodman, Amy(CARDINAL)555698; Whitehorn, Laura(CARDINAL)545864; Chomsky, Noam(CARDINAL)145847; Brink Vision (Firm);
On May 17, 1968, nine Catholic activists entered a Selective Service office in suburban Catonsville, Maryland, dragged stacks of Draft Board records out into the parking lot, and set them on fire with homemade napalm. They then prayed, and waited to be arrested. In doing so, they kindled a wave of similar protests against the Vietnam War across the country that swept up dozens of participants and inspired thousands, and then millions. HIT & STAY, a new documentary film by Joe Tropea and Skizz Cyzyk tells the story of the Nine and those who joined them in protesting the war. The Catonsville Nine action had been preceded by a quartet of activists--including Catonsville Nine participant, Father Philip Berrigan--splashing blood on draft files in nearby Baltimore. But it was Catonsville that galvanized the nonviolent antiwar resistance away from protest marches and toward direct actions by ordinary citizens against draft boards. This new form of protest quickly spread to similar actions in Washington, D.C., New York, Milwaukee, and all across the country, drawing the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as well as the increasingly antiwar American public. Through interviews with many of the participants (as well as observers ranging from linguist political critic Noam Chomsky to historian Howard Zinn), HIT & STAY explores the early actions, the activists going to prison or going underground, the FBI's pushback against the movement, the escalating scale and stakes, and the ultimate victory of the protesters in the trial of the Camden 28.DVD; Dolby Digital

Howard Zinn [videorecording] : you can't be neutral on a moving train / by Damon, Matt,narrator.(CARDINAL)267441; Ellis, Deb,director.(CARDINAL)198994; Mueller, Denis,director.; First-Run Features (Firm)(CARDINAL)356877;
Music composed by Richard Martinez ; narrator, Matt Damon.Howard Zinn; interviewees include Oscar Chase, Alice Walker, Marian Wright Edelman, Noam Chomsky, Staughton Lynd, Cleveland Sellers, Bob Moses, Clayborne Carson, Tom Hayden, Stanley Kutler, Daniel Ellsberg, Dan Berrigan, Jay Craven, Ray Mungo, Francis Fox Piven, Elsa Misson; narration, Matt Damon.Historian, activist, and author Howard Zinn loves his country. This does not mean he refrains from reproaching it for its crimes; such reproach is one of the spurs to it doing better one day soon. To that end, Zinn became an academic. However, as the child of poor, working-class parents, Zinn has also been a blue-collar dockworker and labor organizer, a decorated WW2 bombardier, an adviser to the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and leader of the peace movement at Boston University in the 1960s. Zinn is the rare historian who's been brave enough to participate in the making of history, and this film finds him returning to the role of anti-war activist in post 9/11 America, asserting the value of nonviolent civil disobedience, and the need for ''people's movements'' to effect social change.DVD.
