Biography After working as a teacher and curriculum developer, Ehrlich began creating documentaries in the 1980s. In the 1990s, she began work for National Public Radio that included research into American history with a focus on pacifism. Some of this research was incorporated into the documentary The Good War and Those Who Refused to Fight It, about conscientious objectors during World War II, that she wrote and directed with Rick Tejeda-Flores. The film was completed in 2000 and broadcast on PBS in January 2002.
