In the Year of the Pig

Newly Added • 1h 45m

Directed by Emile de Antonio • 1968 • United States

The first major documentary made about the Vietnam War remains a landmark work of political cinema and one of the most powerful antiwar statements ever committed to film. Juxtaposing interviews with newsreel and archival footage edited for maximum impact, director Emile de Antonio traces the history of the conflict from its roots in French colonialism to the rise of Communist leader Ho Chi Minh to the U.S.’s involvement in the region. A devastating indictment of America’s role in the war made while it was still raging, IN THE YEAR OF THE PIG dared audiences to question the official narrative and their own complicity in it.
