The Vietnam War plot

The ten-part series tells the full story of the controversial conflict. From the deep roots in colonialism and the dismantling of French Indochina during the first Vietnam War, over the second Vietnam War with the Americans, to the consequences today. Several witnesses from all parties involved have their say. Former soldiers, relatives of victims, journalists and civilians, from America as well as from South and North Vietnam. The focus is more on ordinary people who have experienced the war up close, than on experts and historians.

Very strong documentary series. Good sources, structured, in-depth and instructive. I learn, after having seen many Vietnam films, that there is actually a different picture as is situated in the films.

The Vietcong doesn't really strike me as a very communistic fact, but more as a people who go for their own country against the US as an opponent/occupier.

Again: strong!
