(Convenient to the Muni 33)\nIn the Year of the Pig, Directed by Emile de Antonio, \n103 minutes, 1968\n\nIn the Year of the Pig is a 1968 documentary film about the origins of the Vietnam War, directed by Emile de Antonio. It was nominated for an Academy award for best documentary. While this isn’t a “marxist” film, its implications are profoundly anti-imperialist. It is one of the great documentaries expressing the disgust with the Vietnam war in the U.S. Along with Sir, No Sir!, and Winter Soldier this documentary is an important record of the war and has many revealing parallels to the US invasions in Afghanistan and Iraq . No doubt this film will spark an interesting discussion!\nThe film, which is in black and white, contains much historical footage and many interviews. Those interviewed include Harry S. Ashmore, Daniel Berrigan, Philippe Devillers, David Halberstam, Roger Hillsman, Jean Lacouture, Kenneth P. Landon, Thruston B. Morton, Paul Mus, Charlton Osburn, Harrison Salisbury, Ilya Todd, John Toller, David K. Tuck, David Werfel, and John White.\n\nProduced at the height of the Vietnam War, the film was greeted with hostility by many audiences, with bomb threats and vandalism directed at theaters that showed it.\nFor more about the film, see:\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064482/\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Year_of_the_Pig\n \nRevolutionary Film Club is sponsored by the Workers International League’s San Francisco Branch, a socialist organization.
