Re Hearts and Minds (sort of):
 
has anyone ever seen the film "WHY WE'RE THERE"?
it's a Pentagon documentary shown in theaters in the mid60's, ostensibly to
describe what we were doing in Vietnam. Colorized maps of domino states
falling to the red menace and everything! A real hoot if you find government
propaganda amusing.
 
Are there good sources on the availability and archiving of US government
films (including or not Capra's psuedo-govt films)?
