  • The Making of 'Apocalypse Now' (Part 1)
    Jun 10 2026

    In the mid 1970’s America stood at a crossroads. The Vietnam War had recently ended, leaving deep social divisions and a crisis of trust in government after the Watergate scandal...

    Alongside this, American cinema was re-inventing itself after the demise of the old Hollywood studio system…

    A new breed of young, hungry and fearless filmmakers are forging a new path - Scorsese, Lucas, Spielberg, and the elder statesman of the group - Francis Ford Coppola…

    Amongst this landscape, the visionary filmmaker - off the back of huge success with The Godfather and its sequel - risked his own fortune, health, and sanity, to go deep into the Heart of Darkness to make arguably the most infamous war film of all time…

    This is the insane story of a doomed production - typhoons,

    heart attacks, civil war, actors being overweight, high on drugs, and even removed from the film completely…

    This is the story of Francis Ford Coppola and the most infamous and psychologically destructive film production in Hollywood history…

    This is the incredible story of the Making of Apocalypse Now…
