What is The Camden 28 about?

At 4 a.m. on Aug. 22, 1971, eight anti-Vietnam War protestors went up a ladder outside the federal building in Camden, N.J., and broke into the offices of the local draft board. For two hours, they shredded Selective Service records before they were surprised by FBI agents. Twenty co-conspirators were also soon arrested and in 1973 the "Camden 28," each facing sentences of 47 years on seven felony counts, went on trial. How and why did these individuals, including four Catholic priests and a Protestant minister, intentionally place themselves at risk of arrest and imprisonment while protesting the war in Vietnam? The activists claimed that their civil disobedience was meant to call attention to their belief that killing--even in war--was morally indefensible.
