A New Restoration of 1972 s F T A Connects Past to Present

Tweet Share As social media platforms have developed and provided a public outlet for once-private thoughts, bored soldiers in the U.S. military, with restless fingers and time on their hands, have turned to the internet as a means of expression. Often this results in viral dance videos set to pop songs that serve as inadvertent propaganda. But just as frequently, social media offers a space for the enlisted to express their frustration with the machine they find themselves employed by and subject to. I recently saw a TikTok filmed by an American infantryman in his barracks — the soldier making it walked around the bunks, asking the members of his platoon the same question: What would they tell their Army recruiter if they could talk to him now? The minute-long video is a compilation of one answer, delivered resolutely and repeatedly, by multiple soldiers: “Fuck you.”

Jane Fonda Reflects on Acting and Activism on Eve of Cecil B DeMille Award

Jane Fonda Reflects on Acting and Activism on Eve of Cecil B. DeMille Award Jenelle Riley, provided by FacebookTwitterEmail It sounds like a punchline, but it’s true: Jane Fonda has so many awards, they once broke a shelf. It was during her marriage to Ted Turner; prior to that she never really had her accolades, which include two Academy Awards, two BAFTAs, seven Golden Globes and a Primetime Emmy Award, on display. But then she moved in with Turner and notes, “Ted’s office is about the size of a football field. And it’s lined with trophies from his sailing. And it really struck me: he’s not ashamed of putting out all his trophies. I mean, literally, there were thousands.”

Jane Fonda & Donald Sutherland Deliver Anti-Vietnam War Comedy in Exclusive Trailer for New Restoration of F T A

In 1971, Jane Fonda, Donald Sutherland, and more embarked on an anti-Vietnam War road show titled F.T.A. that toured through Southeast Asia. A response to Bob Hope’s USO tour, they took their title from the original Army recruitment slogan “Fun, Travel, Adventure” and redubbed it “Free The Army or F The Army.” As one might expect, controversy followed and the Army tried to limit the troops’ access to performances, even though audiences enjoyed the subversive material. Captured by director Francine Parker, the resulting documentary was released a year later in July 1972, around the time of Fonda’s Hanoi visit, and was subsequently pulled from theaters within a week after its arrival, with many copies being destroyed.
