Summary: Nominated for an Academy Award and cited by film critic Roger Ebert as one of the twenty greatest political films of all time, THE WAR AT HOME vividly chronicles the anti-war protest movement of the 1960's and 70's. The film provides an illuminating look at the home front of the Vietnam War-- the war that students and other anti-war dissidents waged on America's political system, military and notions of patriotism. Through a powerful combination of rare archival footage and interviews with community leaders and Vietnam veterans, THE WAR AT HOME shows how the anti-war movement grew into a genuine people's revolution in tandem with the escalation of war in Vietnam.
