Calendar – Past Event

This is Where We Take Our Stand is the story of the Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) who risked everything to tell their stories is today more relevant than ever. As President Obama withdraws troops from a devastated Iraq (minus ten or twenty thousand "contractors" and the largest, most militarized American Embassy in the world), he sends more to Afghanistan and announces new deployments to other Gulf countries. Nothing is over.

This is Where We Take Our Stand brings you into the powerful, damning testimony of veterans and soldiers at the 2008 event. And it follows IVAW members Geoff Millard (National Guard), Selena Coppa (Army) and Jason Washburn (Marines) as they struggle through controversy, attacks, and their own and their friends' demons to make this historic event happen.

This is Where We Take Our Stand was directed by IDA members Bestor Cram and David Zeiger, as well as Mike Majoros.

The Los Angeles premiere This is Where We Take Our Stand will be at the UCLA Hammer Museum on November 22, and the film will be broadcast on PBS stations nationwide in January/February 2012..
