Re-examination of under-reported events in American history by the Oscar winning filmmaker. The screening of “Johnson, Nixon & Vietnam: Reversal of Fortune,” Chapter 7 will be held. In chapter 7 the hellish nature of the Vietnam War causes the Amerian public to see the limits of modern military power, when faced with thick jungles and guerrilla style warfare. Richard Nixon's administration shows its true methods and causes deep introspection in the American political atmosphere. 120 min. Starring: Alan Shearman, Jim Ward. The ten-part series is supplemented by a 750-page companion book, The Untold History of the United States, also written by Stone and Kuznick, released on Oct 30, 2012 by Simon & Schuster. The series has been said to be reminiscent of the famed British Thames Television series The World at War (1973–74). With the exception of an on-camera introduction and conclusion by Oliver Stone, the series contains no interview subjects. Instead, each episode consists of archival material: stock film, photographs, video and audio recordings, computer generated maps and diagrams, clips from fictional movies, and Stone's voiceover narration. Historical quotations and writings from various figures are read by voice actors.
