I show Hearts and Minds in class all the time. . .few students relate to it.  "It's not relevant to me," is a common response.

I do my best to show the parallels between current imperial destructions and Vietnam. . .still little pulse. . .now that Obama has "saved" them.

It's like throwing diamonds into a cave.

But still I plug on, in this, the United States of Amnesia. . .where self censorship reigns. . .

Great news. Two of the outstanding documentaries of the Vietnam War era are now available, on in the theaters and the other on DVD. âHearts and Mindsâ opens at the Cinema Village today and is not only the finest documentary of the period, but arguably the finest political documentary ever made. You can also order âFTAâ from Netflix, a movie that both documents Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherlandâs legendary challenge to Bob Hopeâs UFO shows and the amazing response of active-duty GIâs who by 1971 were sick and tired of Hopeâs cheesy, warmongering âentertainmentâ, and more importantly the war it cheered on.
