Additional Information
Rachel Boynton’s new film “Civil War (or, Who Do We Think We Are)” brought me to tears
again and again. What a heart-breaking portrayal of a divided nation that, finally, may be
reckoning with the legacy of slavery. Rachel’s interviews contain moments so tender and
intimate that they feel like revelations. She fearlessly asks questions not only of her subjects
but of herself. “Civil War (or, Who Do We Think We Are)” is a layered, nuanced, structurally
original work, and as a new Civil Rights movement at long last gathers momentum, the film’s
call for empathy and self-examination could not be more urgent.
-Joshua Oppenheimer, director of The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence
