We are joined by legendary historical advisor and Vietnam War veteran Captain Dale Dye, who takes us through his time working on Oliver Stone’s ‘Platoon’ (1986). Stone’s seminal film is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, so who better to join us than the man responsible for much of its authenticity. Dale explains how ‘Platoon’ became his first foray into filmmaking and how it became the proving ground for his now industry-revered boot camps. Dale talks us through the challenges and the intricacies of working on the film. So join us as Dale takes us through it all!
