Milestones is a 1975 American drama film directed by Robert Kramer and John Douglas.

Production

The film was co-directed by John Douglas, a member of the agitprop documentary film group The Newsreel whom Kramer prematurely departed and were against distributing one of his previous films Ice (1970), who also played one of the characters: a blind potter.

An introduction written both Kramer and Douglas before the film's premiere at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival presented the film as:

“a vision of America in the Seventies and […] a journey into the past and the future. It is a film with many characters. People who are conscious of a heritage founded on the genocide of the Indians and the slavery of the Black Man. A nation of people—trying to correct the errors of the present—the attempted genocide of the Vietnamese people.
