The Boys who Said No! tells the story of the young men, subject to our nation’s last draft, who for reasons of conscience choose prison over killing during the Vietnam war. It is a story of the couple who most publicly embodied the nonviolence movement of the time – Joan Baez and David Harris. Baez, the iconic voice of the anti-war movement, married Harris, leader of “The Resistance” shortly before he was sentenced to three years in prison for publicly refusing to be drafted. Their son, Gabe was born while David was behind bars. At its core, it’s a story of deeply thoughtful and spiritual resisters to war, but this story unfolds  within the rollicking counter-culture of a particular time and place.
