S20 "The Africas VS. America" E2: The Making of John Africa (GI John)

A quiet and reclusive young man is conscripted to war in Korea
and returns having been made anew. Vincent Leaphart becomes the
enigmatic John Africa, whose revolutionary vision will prove
irresistible to followers seeking a new way of living. But what
begins as a movement concerned with the protection of all life,
will gradually turn to nonviolent direct action and large-scale
civil disobedience in reaction to the state. This is the origin
story of John Africa, leader of what will soon become known as
MOVE.
