In the late 1970s, Francis Ford Coppola 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

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. HEARTS OF DARKNESS is the ultimate feature-length documentary, capturing the explosive events that lead to APOCALYPSE NOW becoming a worldwide classic film.
