Winter Soldier News Blackout [1971]

The "Winter Soldier Investigation" was a media event sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War intended to publicize war crimes and atrocities by the United States Armed Forces and their allies in the Vietnam War, while showing their direct relationship to military policies in Vietnam. The three-day gathering of 109 veterans and 16 civilians took place in Detroit, Michigan, from January 31-February 2, 1971. Discharged servicemen from each branch of military service, as well as civilian contractors, medical personnel and academics, all gave testimony about war crimes they had committed or witnessed during the years of 1963-1970.[1][2][1]

While the event was not extensively covered outside Detroit several journalists and film crews recorded the event, and a transcript [2] was later entered into the Congressional Record.

A documentary film of the event, called Winter Soldier, was first released in 1972. Due to the disturbing nature of the subject matter about an ongoing war, it got little distribution and support at that time and had been archived by its creators, collectively called the Winterfilm Collective. [3][4] In September, 2005, it was re-released across the U.S. in small art house theatres. Many of the media reviews have regarded the film positively. [3]
