Director/Producer: Stephen Talbot
Executive Producer: Robert Levering
Description:
A story about the power of protest. Two enormous antiwar demonstrations in the fall of 1969, the largest the country had ever seen, caused President Nixon to cancel his secret "madman" plans for a massive escalation of the U.S. war in Vietnam, including threats to use nuclear weapons. At the time, protestors had no idea what they had prevented. This film reveals what happened from the perspective of antiwar organizers and those inside the White House working with Nixon and his top foreign policy aide, Henry Kissinger.
