LYNDON JOHNSON addresses a television camera (FILE FOOTAGE) | ||
LYNDON JOHNSON I have today ordered to Vietnam the Air Mobile Division and certain other forces which will raise our fighting strength from 75,000 to 125,000 almost immediately. This will make it necessary to increase our active fighting forces by raising the monthly draft from 17,000 to 35,000 per month. | ||
MUSIC crashes in that will take us through the prologue--a | * | |
nation coming off the rails. | * | |
INT. LOTTERY DRAWING - DAY (FILE FOOTAGE) | ||

A line of mailboxes sit on the side of a rural road. One of them is open. We move down and see mail scattered at the feet of a young black man, 18, slumped down on the ground, his induction notice shaking in his hands. MARTIN LUTHER KING (V.O.) It should be incandescently clear that no one who has any concern for the integrity of life in America today can ignore the present war- | ||

KING continues- MARTIN LUTHER KING If Americas soul becomes poisoned, part of the autopsy must read Vietnam, And we HEAR the rifle shot that killed him RING OUT as we FLASH CUT TO: | ||

Three men pointing in unison to where the shot came from. | ||
EXT. CAMPAIGN RALLY - NIGHT (FILE FOOTAGE) | ||
Its pouring rain and Robert Kennedy is talking to a crowd of people who have just heard the news- ROBERT KENNEDY (V.O.) What we need in the United States is not hatred, but love and wisdom.

RENNIE We were there. RENNIE DAVIS, mid-20s, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and tie, is speaking to a standing room only crowd of students. In contrast to the cliche of the times, most of the students are fairly conservatively dressed. On the movie screen is footage of a Vietnamese village- RENNIE (CONT'D) We didnt see Vietnamese soldiers. What we saw were population centers. Schoolhouses, pagodas, women and children. Suddenly the movie screen fills with huge explosions of yellow, black and searing white. RENNIE (CONT'D) And thats American napalm. The women and children were burned alive. Tom? TOM HAYDEN steps out from the darkness. Hes 30, handsome and serious. TOM The Democratic Party is going to nominate Hubert Humphrey next month in Chicago. We ID the two men with a chyron- Tom HaydenRennie DavisLeaders of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) TOM (CONT'D) When it comes to the war, when it comes to social justice, theres simply not enough of a difference between Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon to make a difference.
