Storyline

Dr. Charlie Clements, who left the U.S. Air Force in 1970 after refusing to fly any more combat missions in Vietnam, discusses his gradual shift from a military background to being an opponent of the war and eventually becoming a doctor with the American Friends Service Committee, assisting the rural population of El Salvador during that country's civil war.
