Description:
Hearts and Minds (Peter Davis, 1974, 35mm, 112 mins)
50th anniversary screening! “One of the best documentaries ever made” (Desson Thomson) is an unflinching, Academy Award-winning examination of the Vietnam War and its vast human toll. “A cinematic essay of constant movement and provocation, a record of one man finding his way through the fog of war” (Scott Tobias). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.
“The Nixon Years: American Politics in the Early 1970s” is a series of documentary and fiction films focusing on that tumultuous time. This screening is presented by the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, the Whitney Humanities Center, and the Yale Film Archive.
