"Hearts & Minds" "Hearts & Minds Trailer" - First Look "Hearts & Minds"- In Movie Theaters March 20, 2009
"Best Documentary Oscar Winner 1975"
"Hearts & Minds" - Peter Davis' provocative Oscar-winning "Hearts and Minds," first released to the American public in 1975, is that rare documentary whose truths and relevance have been underlined and amplified by the passage of time. The title is derived from President Lyndon B. Johnson's noting, as he escalated American involvement in the Vietnam War, that the ultimate victory will depend of 'the hearts and minds of the people who actually live out there.' But Davis' triumph is that he is even more concerned with the hearts and minds of Americans. And though its time-set is the 10-year war that cost over 58,000 American and millions of Vietnamese lives and caused internal upheaval and bitter aftermath, his work endures as a touchstone for our concept of Americanism, patriotism, and personal and political principle.
