He Stood Up: The Mistrial of Lt. Ehren Watada

When the judge demanded that the Prosecutor move for a mistrial, the Prosecutor winced and bent over like he had been hit in the stomach. "He Stood Up" is the story of the court martial of Lt. Ehren Watada, and the amazing turn-around that happened in the course of the prosecution's case. The Army claims they are planning to retry Lt. Watada, so he isn't home free, by a long shot, but as this video shows, there can be no doubt that Watada was the clear victor of round one.

PepperSpray can bring you this level of detail because we were there, in the actual court room—not the overflow room where most of the media was. Since Federal law prohibits video cameras in the court room, we weave court artist sketches, animation and real footage to put you right there.

"He Stood UP" is a story of the courage of conscience, and victory on the high road. This video, made by the PepperSpray Collective of video activists, gives you what corporate media with all its production values and money can't ever seem to find, the truth that makes a difference.
