Veteran Oliver Stone came back from Vietnam a changed man. Now, with four films on the Vietnam War under his belt – “Platoon” (1986), “Born on the Fourth of July” (1989), “Heaven & Earth” (1993), and “Pinkville” (2007) – Stone talks with Bill Moyers about how his experiences of war have affected his life, his work and his vision of the world today. Also on the program, Bill Moyers comments on President Obama’s decision to escalate troops in Afghanistan.
An important fundraising appeal: 10 Days to raise $50,000
Donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Google’s AI search has driven our traffic down by 15 percent, Trump is arresting journalists, and many independent media organizations face heartbreaking cutbacks and closures.
At the same time, movement media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism is ever more urgent in this deluge of political censorship and misinformation. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.
We are fundraising right now for those basic operating expenses — we need $50,000 in the next 10 days. If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Anything you can do makes a difference.
