Path to War
“He promised peace, but chose war.”
DramaHistoryTV MovieWar
A powerful drama of soaring ambition and shattered dreams that takes a provocative insider's look at the way the USA goes to war—as seen from inside the LBJ White House leading up to and during the Vietnam War.
VIBE
This film feels like a heavy, suffocating blanket of dread and indecision. It captures the grim, claustrophobic atmosphere of high-stakes political decisions, where every choice leads to more complex, devastating outcomes. It's a somber, frustrating watch.
