The Vietnam War Documentary Series 2017

Post by 3cGT » Wed Sep 27, 2017 3:29 am

It might have been suggested already. This is the greatest documentary series for me period, &'I'm only 1/2 way through.
The narrative, imagery and music are amazing, with lots of background from all sides it is mesmerising. Plus with An unpopular president, SJW's, misbehaviour on college campuses, racial tension etc it's all here. An 18 hour investment of time is a long haul but I reckon I waste that much time on cat videos and road rage on Facebook every month!

Ken Burns is top notch at what he does. I’m enjoying it as well.

Been catching it when I can and agree it's good. It's on PBS, so not sure what # that is elsewhere.

Got it recorded, can't wait to start.
I'm not even caught up with The Deuce.

Thanks for the links. My girlfriend (who was born in Hanoi) enjoys watching these.

I've been keeping up with the series. Very well put together and even though I've read a lot about the conflict, I've learned quite a bit from this show... like the fact tha Kennedy was in up to his elbows. Most people blame Johnson

You can also watch the series on the PBS app on Roku.

I love the war docs on history and other channels. If this is a new one I will totally be searching for it. Thanks for the recommendation
