This is Where We Take Our Stand

This is Where We Take Our Stand is now broadcasting on PBS. Check your local listings, and if it's not on, let your local station know you want to see it. Follow the film at http://www.thisiswherewetakeourstand.com.

In March of 2008, 250 veterans and active duty soldiers marked the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq by gathering in Washington, DC, to testify from their own experience about the nature of the occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq. Inspired by the 1971 Winter Soldier Investigation held by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, they too sought to express their opposition to those wars with their first-hand accounts, bearing witness with voices not generally heard.
