Sir! No Sir! 1) Brings to life the history of the GI movement through the stories of those who were part of it; 2) Reveals the explosion of defiance that the movement gave birth to with never-before-seen archival material; 3) Explores the profound impact that movement had on the military and the war itself; and 4) The film also tells the story of how and why the GI Movement has been erased from the public memory.
As the Declaration, A Call to Get Organized Now for a Real Revolution says: “…it is a fact that, at the high point of the 1960s, the strength of the radical liberation movements at that time reached into and strongly influenced every part and every institution of society—including the armed forces of this system, where more of the soldiers looked for leadership from the Black Panther Party and other revolutionary-minded forces than from the president of the United States (the so-called ‘commander-in-chief’ of the armed forces).”
On this July 4th, there is nothing to celebrate about this blood-soaked country, its wars of empire, its destruction of the environment, its murderous police, and all the suffering it has caused people here and around the world.

We fight against spy drones, facial recognition, tracking equipment, police body camera secrecy, anti-transparency laws and requirements for “backdoors” to cellphones; we oppose “pre-crime” and “thought-crime,” — to list just a few invasions of our privacy by all levels of Government, and attempts to hide what government officials, employees and agencies are doing.
