Breaking Ranks
Breaking Ranks examines the current phenomena of US soldiers seeking refuge in Canada as part of their resistance to the war effort in Iraq. The film combines the gripping personal stories of young soldiers with political, cultural and historical analysis of the issues their actions raise for Canadians and the world. A support site for War Resisters is here.
This documentary film had a screening courtesy of the Halifax Peace Coalition at Dalhousie University. It's part of a Tuesday night Summer Peace Film Series they are putting on.
It's a moving documentary by director Michelle Mason that allows these men to tell their stories and plead their case to the Canadian public. The vote in Parliament passed 137-110 to allow them to stay but Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who campaigned on a promise to follow the will of Parliament, has stated he won't allow it.
