Judgment: The Court Martial of Lt. William Calley(1975)

Judgment: The Court Martial of Lt. William Calley is a docudrama examining the court-martial of the U.S. Army officer held accountable for the My Lai massacre, one of the Vietnam War's most devastating atrocities. The film traces the military proceedings against Lieutenant William Calley, whose unit killed hundreds of unarmed South Vietnamese civilians in the village of My Lai in 1968. Through courtroom drama and historical detail, it explores the complex questions of military command, individual responsibility, and the moral reckoning that followed the incident. The case became a flashpoint in American public debate about the war itself, dividing opinion between those who saw Calley as a scapegoat and those who viewed him as culpable for the deaths. Judgment presents the evidence, testimony, and legal arguments that defined one of the Vietnam era's most controversial trials.
