Synopsis
Peter Davis's landmark Oscar winning documentary, unflinchingly confronts The US involvement in Vietnam. using a wealth of sources, from interviews to news reels,to docu footage of the conflict at home and in vietnam, Davis constructs a powerfully affecting portrait of the disastrous effects of war. it is that rare documentary whose truth and relevance have been underlined and amplified by the passage of time. Though its time-set is the 10yr vietnam war that cost 60,000 American lives and caused internal upheaval and a bitter aftermath, Davis's work endures as a touchstone of America's concept of Americanism, patriotism and political principle.
