The MOVEMENT and the “MADMAN” on PBS! Hear from the Producers and David Hartsough!

from People-Powered Planet Podcast · host Arthur Kanegis

The MOVEMENT and the “MADMAN” shows how two antiwar protests  in the fall of 1969 — the largest the country had ever seen — caused President Nixon to cancel what he called his “madman” plans for a massive escalation of the U.S. war in Vietnam, including his threat to use nuclear weapons.   Remarkable archival footage and firsthand accounts reveal how you changed history!   We chat with: EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ROBERT LEVERING is a former business/workplace journalist. In 1969, on the staff of the New Mobe, he organized and trained 4,000-5,000 nonviolent marshals for the huge antiwar demonstration in November 1969 in Washington, DC.   CO-PRODUCER STEVE LADD, has worked with filmmakers for the last 3 decades to help produce and distribute documentary films. He was an antiwar and draft resistance organizer at UC Berkeley during the war in Vietnam. ​ CAST MEMBER DAVID HARTSOUGH, is an American Quaker peace activist and co-founder of the Nonviolent Peaceforce and World BEYOND WAR. ​ Learn more & watch the teaser here: movementandthemadman.com Streaming on PBS.org See the video and ask questions of future guests at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠theworldismycountry.com/club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by: „World Citizen“ Jahcoustix feat.
