Description: Step inside the troubled making of one of Vietnam War cinema's most morally uncompromising films. This deep dive traces Casualties of War from the harrowing 1966 incident that inspired it, through Brian De Palma's decades-long fight to bring it to the screen, to the volatile on-set dynamic between Sean Penn and Michael J. Fox. With chapters exploring the film's Thailand shoot, Ennio Morricone's haunting score, and its polarizing reception, this is an essential look at a movie that refused to let audiences look away. A thoughtful account of art, atrocity, and the conversations cinema can force us to have.
