The Movement and the “Madman” (2023)

"The Movement and the 'Madman'" details two massive anti-war protests in the fall of 1969 – the largest the U.S. had ever witnessed. These protests reportedly led President Nixon to abandon his plans for a major escalation of the Vietnam War, including threats of nuclear weapons. The protestors were unaware of the impact they had, nor the lives they saved. Presented as a political thriller, the film recounts this David-and-Goliath story with firsthand accounts from movement leaders and Nixon administration officials, alongside historical commentary and dynamic archival footage, offering a compelling "you-are-there" perspective.
