What Is FTA About?
The premise of FTA without spoilers.
The documentary chronicles a grassroots anti‑war troupe led by Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland that toured towns surrounding U.S. military bases in the early 1970s. Their traveling shows, titled “F.T.A.”—an abbreviation for “F**k the Army”—sought to encourage soldiers to speak out against the Vietnam War. The productions combined anti‑war songs, sketches, and performances by a rotating cast of singers, actors and other entertainers, delivering a bold political message the Pentagon could not silence.
