Draft Cards are for Burning
When a Catholic artist-activist burns draft cards to protest the Vietnam War, his life becomes a living canvas of resistance, confronting every generation with the ultimate question: how far will you go for peace?
A journey into the life and subversive art of anti-war activist Tom Lewis, Draft Cards are for Burning: The Subversive Art of Tom Lewis brings the viewer a harrowing exposé of the relentless struggle to change Americans’ hearts and minds towards a just and peaceful society. Through archival footage, interviews, and his artwork, the film asks what Tom’s life reveals about conscience in our own era of conflict.
