IMDb plot summary: A documentary chronicling the background to, and history of, the Vietnam War.
Directed by Emile de Antonio.
While this is fascinating as a documentary in that it is *so* close in time to the Vietnam War, it's also a war documentary, which is just not my genre at all. I'm a little embarrassed to admit just how little I know about our time in Vietnam, and watching this documentary happening right in the thick of it speaks to an audience with a greater shared understanding of the conflict as current events than I have as someone born 20 years after it ended. It could very well be one for me to come back to sometime with a stronger grasp on the details of the conflict, but for now I'm interested in it more as a piece of history documentation than as an engaging watch.
