On May 17, 1968, nine antiwar protesters, including the Catholic priests Daniel and Philip Berrigan, walked into the Selective Service Office in Catonsville, Maryland, seized scores of draft files, and then burned them with homemade napalm outside the building. Lynne Sachs, a prominent documentary filmmaker who, along with her sister Dana Sachs, also produced the film Which Way Is East: Notebooks from Vietnam (1994), tells the story of the Catonsville Nine using black-and-white footage of the event itself and recent interviews, in color, with many of the participants, including a prosecutor and a juror. |
