Sherman's March: A Meditation on the Possibility of Romantic Love In the South During an Era of Nuclear Weapons Proliferation is a 1986 documentary film written and directed by Ross McElwee.
McElwee initially planned to make a film about the effects of General William Tecumseh Sherman's march through Georgia and the Carolinas (commonly called the "March to the Sea") during the American Civil War. A traumatic breakup McElwee experienced prior to filming made it difficult for him to separate personal from professional concerns, shifting the focus of the film to create a more personal story about the women in his life, love, romance, and religion. Other themes include the specter of nuclear holocaust in the context of the Cold War, and the legacy and complexity of General Sherman's own life.
In 2000, the Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
