Critical Reception & Ratings
Two Wolves, directed by Alex Gibney, is a critically acclaimed thriller that follows the story of helicopter pilot Hugh Thompson, who turned against his fellow soldiers during the Vietnam War to halt the My Lai massacre.

The story of the Two Wolves is a memetic legend of unknown origin, commonly attributed to Cherokee or other indigenous American peoples in popular retelling. The legend is usually framed as a grandfather or elder passing wisdom to a young listener; the elder describes a battle between two wolves within one’s self, using the battle as a metaphor for inner conflict. When the listener asks which wolf wins, the grandfather answers "whichever one you feed".
