Quote:
"The centrepiece of that film [The Mills of the Gods: Viet Nam] was the sequence they did with the guys who were divebombing napalm on the Vietnamese. And Beryl [Fox] [...] then went into the village that they had napalmed and saw the smouldering, still smoking ruins. And the great merit of that was that with cinéma vérité you could do your own ethical balance on what should be included and how the story would come out, without sitting and writing a script, saying this is what you should think."
