      Poppy M As a girl who had a brother in Vietnam, this was a very important film for me. I commend Jane and Donald and Co for there efforts and beliefs, the film made me smile Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/20 Full Review Bjarne This documentary should be in all schools and libraries and streaming on the www! Historical truth is more important than ever and this film gives it to you with depth and eloquence, and while highly entertaining what you come away with goes way beyond that - a sense of country, a sense of we vs me - it is also radical for its time in dealing openly with racism and feminism, -with a diverse cast! A must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/20 Full Review Fjaere History never seen before . A must Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/20 Full Review Simona O Powerful & insightful. Heartbreaking & real. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/20 Full Review Gene Chang Jane Fonda showed up!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/20 Full Review Paul K An, until now, important missing part of the anti-Vietnam movement story. This documentary puts on film for the first time the efforts of a touring group of performers taking their message directly to the American soldiers and capturing the growing descent amongst those men AND women serving here and overseas. This film was suppressed by the Nixon administration fearing the general American learning of the futility of that war first hand from the soldiers fighting it.

      Steve Davis Austin Chronicle While the cabaret performances are the documentary's draw, the movie comes most alive in the interspersed interviews with servicemen and women willing to speak their minds. Rated: 3/5 Mar 11, 2021 Full Review Roger Greenspun New York Times For all its agility and pressing close-ups, the film doesn't capture that spirit-or even adequately show the kind of experience that might have let it grow. May 9, 2005 Full Review Shayna Maci Warner The Film Stage There could not be a more perfect time to bring this film out of its enforced, premature retirement. Feb 8, 2022 Full Review Nadine Smith Nashville Scene F.T.A. is most powerful when it pulls out to look at the empire the United States has carved out in the Pacific Rim. Sep 9, 2021 Full Review B.L. Panther The Spool The film presents a bold, lively, and growing anti-war movement from within the military itself that is decidedly working class. Jul 6, 2021 Full Review Armond White National Review FTA premiered the same week as Fonda's Hanoi stunt, was quickly yanked from theaters, and went undistributed since. That might have saved Fonda's career, which otherwise would have been overwhelmed by this film's undeniable hatefulness. Jun 2, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
