Summary
Everyman is the name of a boat built in Sausalito by Bay Area peace movement activists to sail into Pacific Ocean nuclear test zones to protest nuclear testing. The film covers the building of the boat and Everyman's first and only voyage on May 27, 1962 when it sailed out the Golden Gate only to be stopped twenty miles out by the U.S. Coast Guard who arrested the crew and impounded the boat. The film also shows the protests that followed the seizure of Everyman, including sit-in demonstrations at the U.S. Marshall's office where Joan Baez sang We Shall Overcome with the sit in demonstrators in the San Francisco Hall of Justice. The crew was eventually sentenced to 30 days in jail.
