The iconic protest scene from the movie Forrest Gump was based on American citizens protesting the Vietnam War .

The goal of this protest in the movie was to end American involvement in the Vietnam War. Forrest, unaware of the purpose of the protest, gives a confused speech to the crowd.

Protests like this were not uncommon in American society during this time, especially for those citizens who served in the war or dodged the draft altogether.
