Crossing the Line

Crossing the Line documents a pivotal event in November 1998, when over 7,000 individuals gathered at the Ft. Benning army base in Georgia. Led by actor Martin Sheen, this diverse group included students, teachers, churchgoers, activists, and former military personnel. They participated in the largest act of civil disobedience in the U.S. at that time by crossing the line onto the base where the School of Americas was located.

The documentary highlights the motivations and stories of those involved in this protest, addressing issues of military training and human rights. It serves as a historical record of activism and the fight against perceived injustices, showcasing the courage of individuals willing to risk arrest for their beliefs. This film appeals to collectors interested in documentaries that explore social issues and movements within the late 20th century.
