84 Charlie MoPic

Cult 'found footage' war film following a Vietnam patrol unit from the perspective of an embedded combat cameraman.

Patrick Sheane Duncan's innovative mockumentary is one of the earlier examples of a 'found footage' film, filmed from the perspective of a combat cameraman (military designation: 84C20 MoPic) as he captures a small reconnaissance patrol behind enemy lines during the Vietnam War.

Leaving aside its stylistic invention, the film is a tense and powerful war film in its own right, with a strong ensemble cast conveying the enforced camaraderie and shared survival instincts of its patrol group.
