This film documents the sensational events that unfolded during the making of Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now. Featuring Eleanor Coppola’s footage of the Philippines production, the film details the director’s self-financed, chaotic creation, teetering on the brink of complete collapse.

Count it alongside Burden of Dreams as one of the best documentaries about a disastrous production! This riveting window into the chaos behind Coppola’s war epic—coupled with footage shot by his wife, Eleanor—proves that a “making-of” story can be every bit as extraordinary as the film itself.
