Just Say No! The Gulf War produced an historic level of military resistance in a very short time. What will happen to the conscientious objectors and the hundreds of dissenting GI's in Germany who went AWOL rather than go to the desert? This program highlights military resisters and their families: from North Carolina to Frankfort, Germany and an inside look at the underground railroad of support in Western Europe. (28:00)


Before the Gulf War had started, a group of producers from Deep Dish and Paper Tiger began a series to fight the rampant militarism that seemed to be leading to war. As the war ensued, this series became the only voice of media dissent, documenting the thousands who marched in protest and the many organizations who actively worked to stop it. This series of ten programs used footage from hundreds of producers from the US and from many other countries in a campaign that collaborated with peace activists and war resisters. Produced by Cathy Scott, Marty Lucas, Simin Farkondeh, Dee Dee Halleck, Abdul Wahid Cush, Jen Lion, Claudia Demegret, Ludger Balant, Yanni Damianos, Chris Hoover, Indu Krishnan, Victoria Maldonado, CheChé Martinez, Amy Melnick, Ilona Merber, Dawn Suggs, Fiona Boneham, Maggie Smith and many others.
