AMERICANS IN EXILE: director, Martyn Burke; producer, Norman DePoe; photography, Gerhard Alsen; George Balogh; editing, Walter Coombs; sound, Terry Cooke; Peter Shewchuck; Bill McClellandDescription:This public affairs program hosted by Norman DePoe focuses on United States Army deserters and draft evaders. DePoe reviews the situation and refers to criticism that the Department of Manpower and Immigration is not dealing equitably with these applicants for Canadian citizenship. He introduces the film "Americans in Exile" about deserters, draft dodgers, and Canadians who assist them. Interview segments alternate with footage of border crossing points and Toronto's John Street hostel for draft evaders. William Spira, initiator of the Toronto Anti-Draft Programme, explains why he devotes himself full-time to this cause; explains the difference between a dodger and a deserter; and discusses his manual of advice, now in his third printing. Additional interviews include Spira's wife Joan; a deserter who will stay in Canada even if amnesty is granted to evaders of the Vietnam War (1961-1975); and a draft dodger and his wife in their Toronto home. <30mn>Subjects:DRAFT RESISTERS~EMIGRATION & IMMIGRATION~MILITARY DESERTERS~PUBLIC OPINION~TORONTO~UNITED STATES~VIETNAMESE CONFLICT, 1961-1975 ~DEPOE, NORMAN~SPIRA, JOAN~SPIRA, WILLIAM Language:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
