Description
A mixed-media study of Vietnam War literature begins in Africa with Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and travels into Vietnam with Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now and Michael Herr's Dispatches. Marlow, Willard, and Herr are first person narrators on voyages of self-discovery. Their journeys into Africa, Cambodia, and Vietnam lead the audience into an examination of themes pertinent to not only the works, but the twentieth century and, therefore, history. Through an examination of imperialism, the conflict of Western and non-Western values, the interplay of fantasy and reality, and the nature of moral confession, Heart of Darkness, Apocalypse Now, and Dispatches aim to force their audiences to confront the responsibility of all mankind for the horrors of war.
