A clip from a one-hour documentary film, set primarily in Lexington, Massachusetts over Memorial Day weekend in 1971, examines a local conflict that reverberated nationally. Operation POW was organized and led by Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). The second night's bivouac on the Battle Green of Lexington became the site of yet another historic act of civil disobedience. More than 400 veterans and townspeople were incarcerated in the town's public works garage, resulting in the largest arrest in the history of the state. This film premiered in the Documentary Competition at the 2001 Sundance Festival and has screened extensively throughout the US and in Europe.
