In 1971, at the height of the Vietnam War, Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland toured an anti-war comedy show across Southeast Asia. It was directly engaged with and inspired by veterans against the war and, naturally, it upset U.S. military higher-ups. The F.T.A. tour was highly controversial, but was a huge success among stationed soldiers. In spite of positive reviews and business, director Francine Parker’s film version was quickly taken out of circulation due to political pressures, and has been difficult to see for decades. F.T.A. has now been fully restored in 4K by IndieCollect, and is preceded by a new video introduction from Academy Award-winning actor and activist Jane Fonda, which provides historical context and explains the impetus that sparked the creation of the F.T.A. troupe.
Renovations are under way! We are open for business, but you may notice that we have fewer showtimes temporarily, with two theaters closed. We can’t wait for the unveiling later this spring!
