For decades, Hollywood released countless films about the war and its fallout—from action flicks to combat tales to sweeping dramas.
Through exclusive new interviews, ‘Do We Get to Win This Time?’ chronicles the making of Hollywood’s most ambitious and controversial Vietnam movies. Along the way, we also learn how these films reflected and shaped moviegoers’ feelings toward the war—and toward each other.
