An increasing number of young men have refused to serve or support a war that they consider immoral. Tonight's documentary examines this resistance movement. An hour of the program will be devoted to a profile of Chic Marston, Jr. who burned his draft card on the steps of the Boston Court House last year. Photo-Journalist Lee Lockwood probes Marston's reasons for his act, and the reactions of his family and neighbors in Rockport, Mass. Films show all-night college anti-draft teach-ins and Boston's Arlington Street Church draft-card burning and turn-in. A report on Americans who have gone to Canada to avoid the draft is telecast live from Toronto. Members of the "Boston Five" debate with VFW commander Robert Scherra before an audience of university students. The final segment features participants in Boston, New York and Washington in live-interconnect debate on the moral justification for breaking the law, and its effects on the government. Moderator is Harvard Law School professor Jerome Cohen.
