Demonstrating the consequences of indulging a culture built on myths and conspiracy theories, this is a compelling portrait of a war hero who epitomises many Middle American concerns and convictions.
It is a bizarre life-story of publicity, but Zimmerman gives an interesting account of Gritz’s personal issues with depression, and conveys the feeling that after Vietnam, things were never the same again.
An abstract portrait of a true outsider. Shocking and compelling, even if a little meandering at times.
Intriguing, eye-opening documentary.
