About This Movie

Also Resisters is a fascinating archival documentary that delves into the interplay of militarism and activism, using the lens of David E. McReynolds’ 1968 essay. The film weaves together haunting visuals and raw sounds from the Vietnam War, creating a reflective atmosphere that invites viewers to consider the broader implications of war, both abroad and at home. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of silence to linger, really pulling you into the weight of the subject matter. It's not just a historical piece; it feels like a dialogue across generations. The practical effects are minimal, relying heavily on the power of the archival footage and sound design to craft a narrative that resonates deeply.
