In the Year of the Pig
Date: 1/1/1968Call Number: V 312Format: DVDProducers: Emile de AntonioCollection: Videos in many formats – both camera originals as well as reference materials
Regarded as Emile de Antonio's best film. It's an attack on America's foreign policy and propaganda campaign during the Vietnam War. Funded by the French and a group of Marxist rebels, the film is provocative and coolly intellectual. The film shows that Vietnam was always a single country, goes to lengths to highlight the fact that the US treated the conflict solely as a proxy war against Communism and provides insight into the US government's increasing control of the media.
