The Open Society Institute screened an extended trailer for the documentary Sir! No Sir!, and followed with a discussion with filmmaker David Zeiger and Vietnam veterans David Cline, Halim Gullahbemi, and Joseph Urgo, who are featured in the film. Sophia Conroy of OSI's U.S. Justice Fund introduced the event.

Sir! No Sir!, opening in theaters nationwide, explores the forgotten history of the movement of GIs who worked to end the war in Vietnam. Zeiger, who worked at one of the underground coffeehouses where the GI antiwar movement flourished, is creating the largest Internet archive about the GI resistance movement. The archive and more information about the film are available at www.sirnosir.com.
