"The War at Home" was a documentary film about the anti-war movement in the Madison, Wisconsin, area during the Vietnam War. It combines archival footage and interviews with the participants to explore the events of the period on around the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. While the film is focused on events in Madison, it acts as a microcosm of the larger movement.
Among the major events included is the Sterling Hall bombing. The bombing, intended to destroy the Army Math Research Center in the building, caused massive destruction to other parts of the building as well. It resulted in the death of the researcher Robert Fassnacht and significant destruction to the physics department and its experiments. Neither Fassnacht nor the physics department were involved with or employed by the Army Math Research Center.
Cultural influence
Dialogue from the film was used as samples in the song "Thieves" by the band Ministry on the album "The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste".
