Catch-22, a classic among antiwar satires, added a dark new term to the English language and became an anti-establishment icon of the Vietnam War generation. This program, filmed in 1995, brings together Joseph Heller, Art Buchwald, Bill Mauldin, Catch-22 director Mike Nichols, Alan “Yossarian” Arkin, members of Heller’s own wartime bomber squadron, and others to unravel the novel’s characters and the attitudes and institutions they represent. With more than 10 million copies sold worldwide, Yossarian unquestionably lives. Some content may be objectionable. A Discovery University Production. (51 minutes)
