(Jane) Fonda's Anti-War Film Gets DVD Release (37 years later)
http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0677474/

Jane Fonda's controversial documentary opposing the Vietnam War is to be released on DVD - 37 years after it was pulled from cinemas and withdrawn from circulation.

The actress emerged as a prominent political activist in the 1960s, opposing the longrunning American conflict in the country.

Fonda teamed up with Donald Sutherland and Fred Gardner in 1970 to form the FTA (Free The Army) tour, an anti-war road show, and their protests were filmed for the documentary.

The movie hit cinemas in 1972, the same week Fonda made a controversial trip to Hanoi, North Vietnam, visiting opposition forces.

3. There's nothing "anti-war" about playing gunner at an anti-aircraft gun.


"Watch me play shoot down American planes!! Killing is so much fun!"

I have long read about this documentary -- I think it will be a fascinating time piece.
