Show Details
Genres:
Every year in Portland, war ships dock at the waterfront during the "Rose Festival," an ostensibly family-oriented month of events and parades. On June 8, War Resisters League and Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity Group held a visibility action next to the war ships (and their affiliated recruiting booths) which included a 10 foot tall "Tower of Peace" reading "War Ships Are Not Family Fun." This show includes interviews with some of the participants in the action, who connect military recruiting, military spending, and their lives of activism.
