Unfinished Symphony (2001)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Unfinished Symphony is an emotional, poetic, and lyrical journey back in time to reflect on the highly contested Vietnam War. The film is divided into three sections which mirror the movements of Henryk Gorekis Symphony No. 3, the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, to which the film is set. The film focuses on a three-day protest in the form of a march, staged by newly returned veterans. Reversing the same path as Paul Reveres famous ride of 1775, the mounted protest sought to bring renewed awareness to a long-fought, losing battle.

-----

Set to Henryk Gorecki's Symphony No. 3, this documentary reflects on the Vietnam War by mixing footage of a protest march organized by the then newly returned Vietnam vets in 1971, together with footage from the war and conversations with political historian Howard Zinn.

In honor of the soldiers and veterans who will be part of the demonstrations at the NATO Summit in Chicago–from May 19, Armed Forces/Armed Farces Day, through the Memorial Day weekend, you can watch FOR FREE three powerful films about GI and veterans’ resistance to criminal wars:

Sir! No Sir! – The landmark 2006 film by David Zeiger that revealed the suppressed story of the GI Movement to end the Vietnam War, a movement that shook the military and government to its core and played a major role in ending the war. Sir! No Sir! has been distributed for free to thousands of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, helping to inspire the birth of Iraq Veterans Against the War.

This is Where We Take Our Stand – Last year’s film by David Zeiger, Bestor Cram, and Mike Majoros, that told the story of the hundreds of soldiers and veterans who risked everything to reveal the true nature of the Iraq and Afghanistan occupations by testifying at 2008's Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan hearings.

Unfinished Symphony – The 2001 Sundance film by Bestor Cram and Mike Majoros that told the story of one of the largest demonstrations of veterans during the Vietnam War, the 1971 march from Concord to Boston by Vietnam Veterans Against the War that ended in 400 arrests–the most in Massachusetts history. Set to Henryk Gorecki’s unfinished Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, this beautiful, lyrical film brings you deep into the soul of veterans’ resistance.
