Best Vietnam Doc.?
 

I am looking for a Vietnam documentary without the left anti-war slant.

My nephew wants to learn more about the conflict but I want him to get the straight story.

I saw one a few years back that was atleast 5-6 hours long, might have been HC, not sure.

I prefer docs like In the Year of the Pig and Hearts and Minds, but I think Vietnam - A Television History may be what you're looking for, or perhaps even the History Channel's The Vietnam War.

Thx, I will check those out. If I can find a good deal on that HC one, I will probably get that.

Definitely check out Hearts and Minds. Amazing film.

Hearts & Minds

Not exclusively about Vietnam, but Errol Morris' The Fog of War is essential viewing.

Has anyone seen the 6 hour history channel doc? I heard it was good but really want to make sure there are just facts, and no political slant.

You might also consider "Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam".

Cast my vote for The Fog of War it brought me to tears on something's I never knew about are country in 50's and 60's.

I've seen most of it. If you're looking for just facts and no slants, that's a good choice. Hearts and Minds is a great movie but has a definite bias.
