Winter Soldier

Screening on Film

Directed by Winterfilm Collective.
US, 1972, 35mm, color and b&w, 95 min.

In 1971, following the wake of the My Lai massacre, Vietnam Veterans Against the War invited dozens of vets—many of whom had begun to reconsider their actions overseas—to share their experiences at a gathering in Detroit. This simply filmed and collectively directed documentation of their harrowing stories provides a context for the psychological mindset that led to the brutal acts of rape, torture, and murder committed by American soldiers. Having been trained to regard their enemies as less than human, they soon became inhuman themselves, with horrifying results.
