FTA - which stands for both Free The Army and Fuck the Army is showing tomorrow (FRIDAY) night at
The Grand Banks Social Centre, 156 - 158 Fortess Road, Tufnell Park, London NW5, 9.30pm
It is precluded by The Governorator (40mins 2003) a documentary film about Arnold Schwazzernegger's campaign for office as Governor of California.
FTA (USA 1978 137 mins) is a documentary about a travelling political vaudeville-style roadshow featuring Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland (before they sold out to the diet and banking industry) plus other 60's actors interviewing and performing anti-Army anti-war plays and songs for US soldiers serving in the Vietnam war in 1972 in an attempt to get them to leave the army and the Vietnam war.

The film has been banned by the US government as it does actually incite fragging (the killing of officers and commanders by ordinary GIs) - as Donald Sutherland's speech at the end of the film suggests.
The film which will be shown on Friday was sent from the Australian group Resistance in the Army (RITA) an organisation agitating for soldiers to dis-enlist in Australia.
The Film is now on underground release in Iraq being passed from hand to hand by US soldiers and also circulating in Fallujah after copies were made by a solidarity activist recently returned from Iraq.
FTA is a vital and rare piece of American anti-war history and a powerful testament to the resistance of thousands of soldiers who refused to fight and even took up the fight against the US Army and Imperialism by actively attacking commanders and then refusing to put down black urban insurrections in the USA.
