Synopsis

Combining documentary footage with a scripted recreation of the trial, Emile de Antonio, America's original iconoclast filmmaker and chronicler of the Cold War, tells the story of The Plowshares Eight.

Leaders of the Catholic peace movement including Father Daniel Berrigan and his brother Philip were arrested after staging an anti-nuclear protest inside a General Electric plant that was manufacturing nose cones for ballistic missiles.

Martin Sheen stars as the uncompromising Judge Salus II but even Sheen himself has said the read credit goes to Daniel Berrigan whose passionate self-performance gives legitimate voice and reason to the pacifist anti-nuclear movement of the 1980s.
