Hit & Stay

About This Movie

Hit & Stay is a fascinating look at a unique chapter in the anti-war movement. The documentary dives into the lives of priests and nuns who took direct action against the Vietnam War, breaking into draft boards and destroying records. It’s not just about their acts of civil disobedience; it’s a deep exploration of faith intersecting with activism. The pacing is quite deliberate, giving viewers time to absorb the weight of their actions and the broader implications of the war. The use of archival footage adds a raw authenticity to the narrative, and the personal stories shared are both poignant and powerful. It’s distinct in how it portrays these figures not as radicals, but as deeply principled individuals committed to their beliefs.
