Description: As an outgrowth of the Spanish-American War, in 1899 the U.S. attempted to annex the Philippine Islands, which led to a decade-long war against the Filipino people, a conflict that has been called 'our first Vietnam.' By portraying a contemporary controversy over the return of war booty, two church bells, taken by the American military in 1901, this video examines the untold story of that war and its legacy the bloody struggle that was waged, the acrimonious debate in the U.S. at that time over our justifications for the conflict, and the ongoing debate today over its historical significance. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Susan Sarandon, the video interweaves archival film an dphotos with contemporary footage and interviews shot in the Philippines and the U.S. with descendants of participants from both sides of the war. Reading of contemporaneous historic statements, from President McKinley to Mark Twain, bring those century-old events to life, and historian Howard Zinn comments on the history of American expansionism and its contemporary relevance.
