:''For the campaign of the Civil War General see Sherman's March to the Sea.
'''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 (or the "March to the Sea") during the American Civil War. However, a traumatic breakup McElwee experienced prior to beginning filming made it difficult for him to separate personal from professional concerns and during filming he shifted focus, creating a more personal story about the women in his life, his nightmares about nuclear war, and his obsession with Burt Reynolds.
In 2000, the Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
