Deserter

Deserter‘ is the journey of Ryan and Jen Johnson – a deserting soldier and his young wife – as they flee across the country to seek refugee status over the Canadian border. 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.

You can see the whole film in better quality in three parts by using miro and adding the Friendly Fire channel.

We went to Denver and St. Paul to take the pulse of the movement. Corporate media would cover the platitudes and posturing of the politicians, we were interested in something else, a story hidden in plain sight, captured in the now-classic street chant, “This is what democracy looks like.”

The philosophy of this book is simple. This is a book for complete beginners, to give them a solid understanding of what Maven can do, and the best practices that many of us have learned along the way. It is written in the form of a narrative, following each step in the building, documenting, reporting and deployment of a project called the Killer App.

Another great thing about the book is its license:
