In the Year of the Pig is an American documentary film directed by Emile de Antonio about American involvement in the Vietnam War.[3][a] It was released in 1968 while the U.S. was in the middle of its military engagement, and was politically controversial.[4] One year later, the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.[5][6][7] In 1990, Jonathan Rosenbaum characterized the film as "the first and best of the major documentaries about Vietnam".[8]
