The Fog of War (2003)

Errol Morriss Academy Award-winning film centers on an extended interview with former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. Through his 'eleven lessons,' the film explores the nature of modern warfare and the moral dilemmas faced by those in power. It is a masterclass in psychological portraiture, forcing the viewer to confront the complexities of decision-making during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War.

Its minimalist style and focus on the human element of policy-making make it a chilling and profound examination of the mechanics of global conflict.
