In April 1977, the small coastal town of Seabrook, New Hampshire became an international symbol in the battle over atomic energy.  Concerned about the dangers of potential radioactive accidents, over 2,000 members of the Clamshell Alliance, a coalition of environmental groups, attempted to block construction of a nuclear power plant in Seabrook.  1,414 people were arrested in that civil disobedience protest and jailed en masse in National Guard armories for two weeks. SEABROOK 1977 tells the story of this seminal event of 1970's environmental activism. As the Bush Administration is currently pushing for an expansion of nuclear power plants to be built in the United States, the experiences of 1970’s anti-nuclear activists are more relevant than ever. 80 minutes • DVD

         "SEABROOK 1977 is an invaluable historical document."
       —Howard Zinn, author of A PEOPLE’S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES

The 78-minute film follows a diverse group of individuals, ranging in age from 13 to 74, including middle and high school students, college students, teachers, clergy, and war veterans from Korea, Vietnam and the Persian Gulf, as they take part in vigils, marches, theater performances, and civil disobedience sit-ins to protest the U.S.war in Iraq.

Featuring contemporary music by Grammy Award winner Steve Earle, Pete Seeger, Ani DiFranco, Billy Bragg, Jonatha Brooke, Stephan Smith, Saul Williams, DJ Spooky, and original music by John Sheldon.

“In a time of sadness, thinking of the dead and maimed on both sides, THE PEACE PATRIOTS gives us hope and inspiration. I hope it will be shown widely.”
        —Howard Zinn, Author of A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES

“THE PEACE PATRIOTS is a moving documentary that is sure to inspire.  In an atmosphere rife with frustration and apathy, this film stands out by giving hope to activists and inspiring those who may not be activists to be activists.”
        —John Behnken, Student, Kent State University

“THE PEACE PATRIOTS beautifully demonstrates that ordinary people committed to peace and social justice can make a difference. Anyone feeling burned out from resisting the direction our government is headed in will get a shot of energy from this film."
        —David Potorti, Director, September 11th Families For
           Peaceful Tomorrows

       "After the screening, Leppzer skillfully elicited an usually lively and prolonged discussion. In a perceptive way, he built on the students’ knowledge and differing opinions to arrive at insights about media, democracy, and social change. His presentation was so successful that it remained a topic of conversation for the next several weeks."
