Synopsis

A courageous and startling film, Peter Davis's landmark documentary Hearts and Minds unflinchingly confronts the United States' involvement in Vietnam. Using a wealth of sources - from interviews to newsreels to documentary footage of the conflict at home and abroad - Davis constructs a powerfully affecting portrait of the disastrous effects of war. Explosive, persuasive, and shocking, Hearts and Minds is an overwhelming emotional experience and the controversial winner of the 1974 Academy Award™ for Best Documentary.

"America's long goodbye from Vietnam ... a stunning insight into the disillusion and discontent that was to wash through the rest of that decade."
