Sir! No Sir!
This timely film by director David Zeiger won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2005 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival and the Jury Award for Best Documentary at the 2005 Hamptons Film Festival. Zeiger’s film dispels the myth that opposition to the Vietnam War came strictly from outside the military in this re-telling of the underground coffeehouses, publications, boycotts and peace marches motivated by the anti-war GI movement.

Andrew Harvey on Sacred Activism
(2005; 66min)
Andrew Harvey, Oxford scholar and visionary, believes that our survival depends on Sacred Activism, a fusion of profound mystical awareness, passion, clarity and sacred practice with wise, dedicated, radical action. This fusion, he warns, may be the sole key to preservation of man and nature.
