Curator’s notes
Presented without any editorialising, the film gives a great sense of the range, scale and passion of the growing opposition to the war. One hundred and thirty-two filmmakers, including some of the best known directors and producers of the time, are credited with the production of this documentary. There are no individual credits for specific crew roles. The film is in monochrome.
