MILITARY OPTION

In this collaboration between filmmakers Al Santana, Rico Speight and Third World Newsreel, Military Option explores the U.S. government’s policy of youth recruitment to combat an endless “war on terrorism”, and its impact for many of today’s youth, their families and friends.Our primary subjects, two young males of color, one Asian and the other African-American go under cover to hear what recruiters have to tell them about the various opportunities that await them if they sign up.
