A rare documentary classic, Winter Soldier captures the terrifying testimonies of more than 200 ex-GIs at the 1971 Detroit Winter Soldier Investigation concerning American atrocities in Vietnam. The film, made about and with the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, was a prizewinner at the Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals, screened at the Whitney Museum of Art, New York City and was televised once by WNET. The soldiers, including Senator John Kerry, are riveting as they describe wartime events and their own mixed emotions on their roles in the war. The film evokes all of the sorrow and pain that Vietnam has come to represent.
