Genre: Documentary
Released: 2023-03-28

The MOVEMENT and the “MADMAN” shows how two antiwar protests in the fall of 1969 — the largest the country had ever seen — pressured President Nixon to cancel what he called his “madman” plans for a massive escalation of the U.S. war in Vietnam, including threats to use nuclear weapons. At the time, protestors had no idea what they had prevented and how many lives they had saved. Told as a political thriller, the 83-minute film engages viewers in a you-are-there experience with insider accounts from Nixon officials and movement leaders, illustrated with dynamic archival footage and driven by an original score and songs from the 60’s.
