In May 1968, a group of Vietnam War protesters walked into a draft board office in Maryland and destroyed hundreds of selective service records with homemade napalm. This intimate, experimental documentary portrait follows the Catonsville Nine, a disparate band of resisters who broke the law in a defiant, poetic act of civil disobedience, and traces how the act helped galvanize the American public. 2001, U.S., 16mm, 45 minutes. Recommended for 14+
