In this tribute to the late Howard Zinn, Beyond Nuclear presents Dr. Zinn's compelling testimony in which he makes the case for non-violent civil disobedience as instrumental in changing American history and advancing democracy. Dr. Zinn testified for the defense at the criminal trial of the AVCO Plowshares 7. On July 14, 1983, the defendents hammered equipment and poured blood on blueprints for the Cruise Missile and Missile X in a factory in Wilmington, MA.
