Film7.7BelgeselEn İyi Belgesel Film Oscar'ını kazanan yapım, Kennedy ve Johnson'ın başkanlık döneminde Amerika Savunma Bakanı olarak görev yapan Robert McNamara'nın gözünden, son 60 yıldaki Amerikan politikasını ele alıyor. Film çekildiği zaman 86 yaşında olan McNamara, Amerika'nın hatalarından ders almadığını ve yanlışlar zincirine devam ettiğini cesurca açıklamaktan çekinmiyor. Bunun yanısıra filmde daha önce hiçbir yerde yayınlanmamış gizli belgeler ve kayıtlar da gözler önüne seriliyor. "Tek bir gecede Tokyo’da 100.000 sivili yakarak öldürdük. Erkekler, kadınlar, çocuklar..." "Vietnam’ı soğuk savaşın bir unsuru olarak gördük, onların algıladığı gibi bir ‘sivil savaş’ olarak değil. Ve yanıldık."

Film7.0BelgeselReleased in 1965, "Why Vietnam?" was produced by the U.S. Department of Defense to aid public acceptance of the Vietnam War and to indoctrinate Vietnam-bound draftees. Structured in the rhetorical tradition of the "Why We Fight" films, it draws historical parallels to World War II, depicts U.S. military activity in Vietnam, and presents official interpretations of the conflict’s origins. Later criticism by historians highlighted the film’s selective use of evidence and its distortion of key historical facts, revelations that were further underscored by disclosures in the Pentagon Papers.

Film8.0BelgeselDuring the Six-Day War, Israel attacked and nearly sank the USS Liberty belonging to its closest ally, the USA. Thirty-four American servicemen were killed in the two-hour assault by Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats. Israel claimed that the whole affair had been a tragic accident based on mistaken identification of the ship. The American government accepted the explanation. For more than 30 years many people have disbelieved the official explanation but have been unable to rebut it convincingly. Now, Dead in the Water uses startling new evidence to reveal the truth behind the seemingly inexplicable attack. The film combines dramatic reconstruction of the events, with new access to former officers in the US and Israeli armed forces and intelligence services who have decided to give their own version of events.
