Let Them Stay
Voices of U.S. War Resisters in Canada
*A Special Sneak Preview Exclusive to TFC*
A film by Alex Lisman (Colour and B&W / 28 minutes / 2005 / Canada)
Thousands of young Americans have been leaving the U.S. military, refusing to participate in the illegal war and occupation of Iraq. Facing imprisonment and persecution, a small but growing number are coming to Canada, in the same way that thousands of Vietnam War resisters did years ago. To stay, this generation of war resisters needs the same kind of provision that the government of Pierre Elliott Trudeau allowed for opponents of the Vietnam War.
"Let Them Stay" features exclusive one-on-one interviews with the soldiers, documenting their life-changing experiences in Iraq and the hidden realities of U.S. military recruitment and warfare. It also documents the War Resisters Support Campaign,
a pan-Canadian coalition of labour, faith, and peace groups, Vietnam War resisters, and individuals who are working with these war resisters to put pressure on the current federal government to let them stay.
The world premiere of Let Them Stay will take place on December 10 at UofT and will include a short presentation by one of the war resisters on the status of their case and the campaign. More details to follow.
Let Them Stay will be followed by:
Give Me a Roadmap
A film about coming of age, late
A film by Tullia Marcolongo
Written by: Leanne Dufault, Tullia Marcolongo, and Melissa Ray
Produced by: Quadricycle Films
(Colour / 25 minutes / 2005 / Canada)
What do you do when the goalposts keep moving? In a society that idealizes youth, freedom and success, twenty-nine year-olds talk about the challenges of growing up fast but coming of age late. They reflect on living in different circumstances than previous generations, on the contradictions between meeting their personal expectations and those of others, on being financially insecure but having an overwhelming array of choices... And finding meaning at the brink of thirty.
Discussion Group/ Online Forum:

The discussion group/ online forum is a way of getting up to the minute information about Collective events (wonder why you haven't heard from me in a month?). It is also a way of getting some production help, or finding that perfect prop or location. Maybe getting questions answered about AVID.
