The Movement and the “Madman” (2023) is a feature documentary directed by Stephen Talbot. The documentary covers the 1969 showdown over the war in Vietnam between the peace movement in the United States and President Richard Nixon and National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger. Based on interviews with antiwar activists, historians, and former Kissinger aides, the film shows how two enormous demonstrations in the fall of 1969 pressured Nixon to cancel what he called his “madman” plans to drastically escalate the war, including threats to use nuclear weapons.
On Wednesday, January 22, 2025 at 7pm, we will host a discussion of the film with director Stephen Talbot and a panel including David Hartsough, Quaker peace activist who was very active in the anti-Vietnam War movement.
