- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the film Sherman's March. A well-loved and critically acclaimed work of cinema verité, Sherman's March (1986) weaves together subjects as disparate as the Civil War (1861-65), nuclear holocaust, and southern womanhood to create a subtle and emotionally powerful film. Originally setting out to retrace Union general William T. Sherman's march through Georgia and the Carolinas, documentary filmmaker Ross McElwee instead crafted an insightful look at life and the search for love in the modern South.
