“Odyssey to Peace” presentation by Brian Willson with Jeff Leys as a respondent to his presentation. Brian is a lawyer, a combat veteran from the war in Vietnam, an international peace activist who has fasted with other veterans for peace and who sat on the rail tracks blocking a train of weapons heading for the US-funded wars in Central America in the 1980s. The train sped up instead of stopping and Brian lost his legs. Peace Voice honors his commitment, his sacrifices, and his amazing power and endurance.
