About This Movie

Two Days in October is a gripping documentary that connects two pivotal events in October 1967 during the Vietnam War. It captures the haunting atmosphere of the time, juxtaposing the tragic ambush of a US battalion with the protests erupting back home. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of each moment to settle in. You really get a sense of the chaos and confusion on the battlefield, as well as the growing dissent among Americans. The storytelling doesn’t shy away from the heavy themes of loss and disillusionment, which makes it stand out. While it’s based on Maraniss’s book, the film encapsulates a raw honesty that’s hard to forget, presenting history in a way that feels immediate and personal.
