Filmmaker Anthony Giacchino explores the remarkable story of 28 anti-war activists who protested the Vietnam War by conspiring to break into a draft-board office in Camden, NJ, and destroy government draft records identifying young men available for military service. On Sunday, August 22, 1971, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and Attorney General John Mitchell announced that 20 anti-war activists had been arrested in and around a Camden draft-board office. Just five days later, the indictment of those 20 individuals -- as well as eight more who were accused of being involved in the incident -- was made public by Mitchell. Charged with conspiracy to remove and destroy files from the draft board, FBI office, and Army Intelligence office, many of the indicted faced up to 47 years in a federal prison if convicted. While the accused referred to themselves as "America's Conscience," the government dubbed them the Camden 28. Many were surprised to hear that all but one of the accused were prominent religious figures -- including four Catholic priests, a Lutheran minister, and 22 Catholic laypeople. All involved claimed that killing was morally indefensible, even in war. Over the course of the next two months, the defense would present its case and many of the defendants would passionately plead their case. In this documentary, filmmaker Giacchino explores the friendships and betrayals that played out as the controversial case of the Camden 28 went before a jury during a time when the country was divided by a war that seemed without end. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

New Review For Movie Camden 28
Director Anthony Giacchino doesn't always relate the tale in the clearest fashion, but his sometimes overly emotional approach... doesn't detract from its essential fascination.Frank Scheck-Hollywood Reporter
Not exactly blazing cinema, but intellectually riveting.
Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com
The moments never add up to a movie.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
Their story is inspiring and, all these years later, relevant.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post
Concise, inventive and unabashedly partisan, The Camden 28 is a small movie that contains multitudes.
Matt Zoller Seitz-New York Times
The Camden 28 not only examines the animating forces of protest, but also the nature of betrayal, forgiveness and, ultimately, compassion.
Gene Seymour-Newsday
If anything it also shows that dissent is a far gone notion in our modern society...
Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed
Until a worthwhile dramatized version of the Camden 28 comes along, this dutiful documentary will suffice.
Eric Monder-Film Journal International
When it comes to political agitation, the Camden 28 are genuine heroes and deserve to be recognized for what they dared to achieve.
Phil Hall-EDGE Boston
Times have changed, but many of the questions remain the same: How far would you go to stop a war you felt was unjust? Would you break the law if you felt that law to be by nature unlawful?
Ken Fox-TV Guide's Movie Guide
A vivid and impassioned chronicle of unwavering moral courage under extreme duress.
Timothy Knight-Reel.com
[Giacchino's] sympathy for his subjects, their cause and the tradition of Christian pacifism is evident yet doesn't cloud the storytelling as he defies viewers not to stand in admiration and ask tough questions of themselves.
John P. McCarthy-Boxoffice Magazine
a dully presented piece of cinema about a truly worthy group of subjects.
Chris Barsanti-Filmcritic.com
Though the filmmaking is pedestrian, The Camden 28's timeless truths come through with resounding power.
Nathan Rabin-AV Club
In revisiting the oppressive measures employed by the FBI during that era, the viewer is treated to a welcome message about the right, if not the duty, to challenge authority, especially in the face of corruption, intransigence and utter arrogance.
Kam Williams-WBAI Web Radio
A documentary about a watershed trial in 1973 of some anti-war activists from the Catholic Left who took a stand on the basis of conscience.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
While no one will mistake director Anthony Giacchino for Michael Moore, the documentarian unfolds the drama of the arrest and eventual not guilty verdict of 28 Vietnam War protesters in 1971.
