A new film that tells the little-known story of the Vietnam veterans who turned against the war.
And did everything they could to stop the killing.
One More Mission is a documentary film by award-winning filmmaker Edward Gray. It tells the dramatic story of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW): the first veterans group in American history to demand an end to the war they fought in.
It’s a story that no previous film has ever fully told.
At its height, VVAW included some 25,000 Vietnam veterans. Because they had served, they were able to connect with Americans whom the student antiwar protesters couldn’t reach.
VVAW played a key role in turning the tide of public opinion against the war and pressuring President Richard Nixon to end it.
But we failed to learn the lesson they tried to teach us. The United States launched wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that took hundreds of thousands of lives.
That’s why today it’s so important to hear the story of the courageous veterans who refused to stay silent about the horror and futility of war.
Thanks to the support of so many people, we’ve been able to complete most of our filming. And we’ve captured some very powerful footage.
But now we need to raise money to pay for editing and post-production. You can make a tax-deductible contribution here.
