On March 20th, 2003, at the start of the U.S. War on Iraq, more than 750 people were arrested in Chicago during a peaceful protest. More than 100 people were arrested in the following days during planned non-violent civil disobedience actions. This documentary by Chicago producers Linda Beckstrom, Blake Beckstrom, Jon Groot, and Seth Skundrick features interview segments from thirty protesters and organizers, taking you inside their experiences, from chaos on the streets, to jail solidarity, to renewed commitment to peace. Dramatic footage from the March 20th demonstration and other protests illustrates stories of resistance from a cross section of those who stood up to say no to the war.
