Vietnam: American Holocaust (2008)
A Must See for history buffs

This documentary is a very cogent presentation, relevant to today as much as to then. Claiborn makes a judicious use of flashback news segments, unlike some documentaries that I have watched, which overuse such clips and segments. An interesting account of the Viet Nam war, very informative, like the news you never got but wish you did! It has the feel of really being there; the filmmaker Claiborn must have spent much time there gathering information and a film library from which to cull shots... And the choice of Martin Sheen for narrator works well as a recognized voice, adds to the feel of an authoritative account of events.
