Directed by Peter Davis .
US, 1974, 35mm, color, 112 min.

A landmark documentary, this comprehensive examination of the Vietnam conflict on both sides of the Pacific remains definitive and meaningful. Assembled from an impressive array of interviews, combat footage, and more, Davis carefully weaves a tale of events and personalities both large and small into a powerful tapestry that ranges from the grief of Vietnamese civilians burying loved ones to the staggering ignorance of American officials. Hearts and Minds is an iconic statement of the anti-war zeitgeist of the early 70s, and won the 1974 Academy Award for Best Documentary.
