About The Sixth Side of the Pentagon
Chris Marker and François Reichenbach document the massive anti–Vietnam War protest held in Washington, D.C., on October 21, 1967, where more than 100,000 demonstrators gathered at the Lincoln Memorial before marching on the Pentagon. Filmed amid the crowd, the short captures the tension, idealism, and growing radicalism of the American peace movement.
Directed by Chris Marker, François Reichenbach, The Sixth Side of the Pentagon leans on a strong ensemble — Henri de Turenne, Chris Marker, William Sloane Coffin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1968.
