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 Everyman's first and only voyage on May 27, l962 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. Protests included sit-in demonstrations at the U.S. Marshall's office where Joan Baez took part, singing "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.
