An Interview with Peter Davis, director of Hearts and Minds

Peter Davis, an Emmy/Peabody Award winner, made waves in the documentary film world with his 1974 film about Vietnam, Hearts and Minds. This incendiary film caused great controversy at the time, and has since become regarded as one of the most grippingly honest films about the Vietnam War ever made.

In this interview with AU MFA Candidate Sarah Katz, Davis discusses the struggles involved in making this film, the process of putting together a documentary that defies normal filmmaking conventions, and audience reactions in a time of political unrest.
