The Fog of War
Directed by Errol Morris
Produced by SenArt Films, RadicalMedia
A probing, archival-driven examination of Robert McNamara's role in shaping Cold War policy, wrestling with questions of responsibility, rationality, and the limits of human judgment in matters of war.
Using archival footage, cabinet conversation recordings, and an interview of the 85-year-old Robert McNamara, The Fog of War depicts his life, from working as a WWII whiz-kid military officer, to being the Ford Motor Company's president, to managing the Vietnam War as defense secretary for presidents Kennedy and Johnson.
