Follows the 25-year peace vigil of three very persistent individuals in front of the White House and reveals how the bizarre act of one man, labelled the ‘first domestic terrorist’ in the US, brought them together. Neighbors to five sitting US presidents, these tenacious protesters – Thomas, Ellen and Connie – endured police brutality, vicious weather, Supreme Court battles, and their own internal struggles in order to maintain one of the longest-standing protests against nuclear weapons and US foreign policy ever staged in America.
