Baby Peace: Randal Kleiser's 35 year old antiwar PSA

In 1970, film director Randal Kleiser (website / IMDB) was a film student at USC — his roommate there, btw, was George Lucas. One of Randal’s projects during that time was a one-minute “ad” protesting the Vietnam War, created with Harry Winer. They asked Jon Voight to do the voiceover, he said yes. With a very simple set and help from a very young actor, they produced a beautiful short which Randal has kindly offered to share with Boing Boing readers again today.

It’s as if it was produced just a day ago.
