Description: Journey behind the scenes of one of the most unflinching Vietnam War films ever made. This deep dive traces Hamburger Hill from its origins in veteran testimony to the brutal ten-day assault on Hill 937 that inspired it, exploring how director John Irvin and a cast of unknowns recreated the horror of the A Shau Valley in the jungles of the Philippines. Along the way, it examines the film's craft, its complicated reception in the shadow of Platoon, and its enduring role as a keeper of soldiers' memories.
