Watch on PBS Stations & View Online
Updated November 22, 2024
The Boys Who Said NO! started reaching its largest audience yet in November with its inspiring message. So far, 14 PBS stations in 13 states have licensed the 52-minute version of the film for broadcast. Three stations aired the film in November, including KQED in San Francisco. Stations that broadcast the film now have it available to view online with PBS Passport membership, see links below. The other stations on the list below will air the film in 2025.
We hired an experienced "station relations" pro who is contacting all PBS stations that have not yet licensed the film, with the goal of reaching tens of thousands of PBS viewers.
Please consider making a donation to help us reach more stations and maximize the PBS broadcast audience for the film.
We'll update this page as we get more info. Be sure you're on our email list for updates.

"An ode to the power of activism."
– G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
“Some films are too important not to see...watch it to renew your faith in the belief that your voice also has the power to make a lasting difference.”
– Documentary Drive
"Theirs was a cause built on fundamental American responsibilities -- that we speak truth to power and resist the unjust, unjustifiable, and illegal. It's an engaging, compelling documentary with considerable relevance today." – Leonard Steinhorn, CBS News Political Analyst Affiliate Professor of History, American University
