This new documentary is about William Stafford, one of America's -- and the West's -- best poets. He was a conscientious objector during World War II and spent 1942-46 in a C.O. detention camp. The film has been screened at several film festivals and will be making the USA rounds through the fall. No screenings on the schedule for MT, WY, UT or CO, although there are ones for SD. You can order the DVD at
http://www.everywar.com/ and it includes a doc on Stafford and his friend Robert Bly. I was reading on Facebook that
Every War Has Two Losers will be shown at the Wine Country Film Festival in California's Napa Valley, along with a new documentary on poet Gary Snyder. I'm going to have to look for that one, too. Can't have too many films on this country's great poets

I hope to bring this to next year's Veterans For Peace convention in Portlans Ore, and to Laramie nest sumer for the film series we do.
They are having a screening in Utah. A bit far to go to see it. Probably have to wait to catch it on PBS.
