In the Year of the Pig Series: 1968: An International Perspective [April 29-May 14] Director: Emile de Antonio, Country: USA, Release: 1969, Runtime: 103 “Remarkable!” - Melissa Anderson, Time Out New York “The definitive outsider Viet doc, then and now.” - J. Hoberman, The Village Voice Simultaneously nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary and the subject of bomb threats and innumerable editorial attacks, In the Year of the Pig became a rallying cry for the growing anti-Vietnam War movement and a sensation whenever and wherever it screened. The first part offers a detailed chronicle of Vietnam's history up to the moment of U.S. involvement: the age-old struggle of the country to remain independent from its neighbors, the experience of French colonialism, World War II and finally the defeat of the French at Dien Bien Phu. The film moves to the contemporary struggle, showing how the promises made for free elections were betrayed as soon as it became clear that North Vietnam's communist leader Ho Chi Minh would win. News footage of military and civilian leaders of the U.S. war effort are paired with interviews featuring Daniel Berrigan, David Halberstam, Harrison Salisbury and many others offering personal takes on the war and its consequences. Reportedly de Antonio's personal favorite among his films, In the Year of the Pig remains not only a great document of the era but also a sad and still relevant meditation on the hubris of power.
