Ask Not is a rare and compelling exploration of the U.S. military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. The film exposes the tangled political battles that led to the controversial rule and profiles activists determined to abolish it. Current and veteran gay soldiers reveal how "don't ask, don't tell" affected them during their tours of duty, as they served in combat under a veil of secrecy. (Running time: 53 minutes)
