In the late 1970s, celebrated director Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather, The Conversation) and his cast, crew and family ventured into the dense jungles of the Philippines to begin work on what would eventually become his masterpiece, Apocalypse Now.
But the journey from page to screen soon spiralled into a hellish, life-threatening nightmare that echoed the film’s narrative. Plagued with adversity, one of the most influential films ever made had one of the most notorious shoots in cinema history that few survived unscathed.
Meticulously documented at the time by Eleanor Coppola, Fax Bahr and George Hickenlooper revisited the footage in 1991 and filmed new interviews with cast and crew, resulting in Hearts of Darkness, a groundbreaking and intimate portrait of what went into making one of the best films ever made.
