Episode 13 - Hell No, We Won't Go!
During the Vietnam War, 50,000 draft-aged Americans crossed the border into Canada, choosing exile over going to war. As the conflict escalated and the anti-war movement blazed across America, these "draft-dodgers" and "deserters" were either criticized as cowards or held up as resisters. What they were, in fact, were young men forced to choose between their country and their values; between everything they knew, and what they believed.
For some, the price of exile and its crushing loneliness would be too high. For others, Canada was a place of asylum and sanity and would ultimately benefit from their activism. In Hell No, We Won't Go! resisters share their incredible stories and, forty years later, reflect on the costs of this enormous decision.
