As they move from safe house to safe house, we get to know Ryan and Jen - two, shy, small-town kids from the Central Valley who joined the military because there were no jobs, and find they must make a heroic stand in order to escape an illegal and immoral war. 'Deserter' is a political road movie with one of the few happy endings that this war has given us.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/14687-trailer-deserter">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/4117-u-s-army-subpoenas-journalist-sarah-olson 2008-11-22T12:41:57Z COAnews <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RcCLVCPgYU0&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RcCLVCPgYU0&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/4117-u-s-army-subpoenas-journalist-sarah-olson"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/3371" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Visit <a href="http://defendthepress.org">defendthepress.org</a> </p> <p>Footage from this video came from the provocative DemocracyNow! <a href="http://democacrynow.org">democacrynow.org</a> <br />-please check them out, they have great news video every weekday!</p> <p>The U.S. Army has subpoenaed independent journalist Sarah Olson to testify at the upcoming hearing.
