Quotes
[last lines]
Narrator: A complaint for injunctive, declaratory and mandatory relief was filed in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia. On July 16th 1976 the presiding judge ruled against Sgt. Matlovich but added... The time has arrived when the Armed Forces need to reappraise the problem which homosexuality presents in the military context. Public attitudes are clearly changing. The Armed Forces have shown thay can lead the way on matters of discrimination and I suggest that this is an area that deserves its more intense and immediate study.

Very Good Documentary

This is an excellent TV documentary I luckily found on ebay one day. This movie is extremely rare so if you find it anywhere it won't be very cheap. some people are currently selling it on amazon, so if you want it you may find it there. I have 3 good reasons to watch this film. 1. Great acting 3. Good Quality 3. is very realistic If you like documentaries about the army you will like this. If you don't, I wouldn't suggest it. It also has an awkward plot, which made me think a little bit about getting it. Then I realized Brad Dourif was in it! He portrayed Sergeant Matlovich very well. If you get it I hope you enjoy it!
