Hi,
Has anyone else been catching The Vietnam War, Ken Burns' 10 part documentary on PBS?
It's an amazingly deep documentary with a lot of footage and interviews that most would never have seen before. Massive undertaking that took Burns 10 years to complete.
I was a child during the Vietnam war, and growing up outside the US at that. I can't even relate to what it must be like to be a veteran or someone who lost friends, family in that war. The documentary makes clear how deep the wounds are. It also presents quite a few interviews with Vietnamese people, which is very interesting.
If you're interested, you can stream it on PBS' website. I heard Netflix will eventually have it also.
ADDED: This post was not intended to be political in any way. Please think of it as an FYI on a good documentary for those many of us too young to have firsthand knowledge of the events. In my case, just a genuine interest in history. I thought Ken Burns' Civil War documentary was very good also, but obviously not personal for nearly as many people when it came out (I think). Sorry if I inadvertently stepped on anyone's toes.
