40 Years After The End of The Vietnam War

Three Excellent Films That Tell The Truth About The American War In Vietnam

Hearts & Minds
Academy Award Winning Documentary about The Vietnam War - Directed by Peter
Davis - 1974 - 1 Hour: 52 Minutes -
www.criterion.com/films/711-hearts-and-minds
This film recounts the history and attitudes of the opposing sides of the
Vietnam War using archival news footage as well as its own film and
interviews. A key theme is how attitudes of American racism and
self-righteous militarism helped create and prolong this bloody conflict.
The film also endeavors to give voice to the Vietnamese people themselves as
to how the war has affected them and their reasons why they fight the United
States and other western powers while showing the basic humanity of the
people that US propaganda tried to dismiss. -

The Oriental doesn't put the same high price on life as does the Westerner.
Life is cheap in the Orient. Hearts and Minds is an Academy Award winning
documentary about the Vietnam War directed by Peter Davis. The film's title
is based on a quote from President Lyndon B. Johnson: "the ultimate victory
will depend on the hearts and minds of the people who actually live out
there". The movie was chosen as Best Feature Documentary at the 47th Academy
Awards presented in 1975. The film premiered at the 1974 Cannes Film
Festival. Commercial distribution was delayed in the United States due to
legal issues, including a temporary restraining order obtained by one of the
interviewees, former National Security Advisor Walt Rostow who had claimed
through his attorney that the film was "somewhat misleading" and "not
representative" and that he had not been given the opportunity to approve
the results of his interview. After Columbia Pictures refused to distribute
the picture, Bert Schneider and Henry Jaglom purchased back the rights and
released the film in March 1975 through Warner Bros.

Vietnam: American Holocaust
Narrated by Martin Sheen - Written, Produced & Directed by Clay Claiborne -
2008 - 1 Hour: 26 Minutes
www.topdocumentaryfilms.com/vietnam-american-holocaust -
www.vietnam.linuxbeach.net
This film exposes one of the worst cases of sustained mass slaughter in
history, carefully planned & executed by presidents of both parties. Our
dedicated generals & foot soldiers, knowingly or unknowingly, killed nearly
5 million people, on an almost unimaginable scale, mostly using incendiary
bombs. Vietnam has never left our national consciousness & now, in this
time, it has more relevance than ever.

The Friendship Village
Directed & Produced by Michelle Mason - 2002 - 51 Minutes -
www.cultureunplugged.com/play/8438/The-Friendship-Village -
www.cypress-park.m-bient.com/projects/distribution.htm
A timely, inspiring film about our ability to transcend war, 'The Friendship
Village' tells the story of George Mizo, a war hero-turned-peace activist
after losing his entire platoon in an opening salvo of the 1968 Tet
Offensive of the Vietnam War. George's journey to heal the wounds of war
leads him back to Vietnam where he befriends the Vietnamese General
responsible for killing his entire platoon. Through their friendship, the
seeds of the Vietnam Friendship Village Project are sewn: a reconciliation
project near Hanoi that treats children with Agent Orange-related illnesses.
One man could build a village; one village could change the world.


In Peace,
