<div>Armed with a 16mm camera and a grant to make a documentary about the</div><div>lingering aftermath of William Tecumseh Sherman’s 1864 march to the sea,</div><div>Ross McElwee gets sidetracked. After his girlfriend breaks up with him,</div><div>Ross shifts his attention from the historical to the personal, to the battlefield</div><div>of modern love, and embarks on a sociological chronicle that documents the</div><div>courting rites and rituals of the New South. A generous and humanistic</div><div>portrait of several remarkable women that Ross meets along the way,</div><div>SHERMAN’S MARCH sketches its characters with novelistic sensitivity: Pat,</div><div>an aspiring actress with a yen for Burt Reynolds; Claudia, a roller-skating</div><div>interior designer; Jackie, the activist whose anti-nuclear advocacy dovetails</div><div>with Ross’s deepest fears; and above all, Charleen Swansea, Ross’s</div><div>mentor and a one-woman Greek chorus of unsolicited romantic counsel. A</div><div>landmark of first-person filmmaking that presaged everything from Michael</div><div>Moore to reality TV, SHERMAN’S MARCH is now available in a new 4K</div><div>restoration.</div>PT2H39M2026-07-31
