In the Year of the Pig. Emile de Antonio, 1968.
😸
Edition screened: Included in Home Vision/Image 4-DVD set Emile de Antonio: Films of a Radical Saint, released 2008. English language. Runtime approximately 103 minutes.

Summary: No particular depictions of violence or harm to animals.

In the Year of the Pig is a crucially important film that explains the Vietnam War and at the same time displays de Antonio’s prowess as historian and visionary artist. This DVD in the set also includes a superb interview with the filmmaker (about 25 minutes) by professor emeritus June Perry of the University of Nebraska, striking because de Antonio apologizes for neither intellectualism nor filmmaking.
