The Vietnam War - Ken Burns doc series BBC4

[Sgt GrizZ]

This has been showing on BBC4. On iplayer, and repeating soon I believe.

Epic stuff from Ken Burns - prob the final and definitive doc on the whole sorry mess.

I watched it all, can't get enough Vietnam war films, documentaries and books. It also tells the story from the Vietnamese perspective which you don't normally hear.

Ken Burns has done some great stuff. The Civil War was another great one and I've got it recorded to watch again. They usually pop up on the PBS America channel.

War certainly is hell.

I watched the first episode. Loved it. Need to find time to watch the rest.

Pretty gobsmacking when "Tricky Dicky" sabotaged the peace talks so he could get elected.

I spent my honeymoon in Vietnam visited a few museums and exhibits, the war museum in Ho Chi Minh City gives you a very different perspective from the point of view of various international war photographers, pretty graphic in sections but a unique experience.

Remarkable people don't hold any grudges just see it as a black period in their history.

Will need to check out that series.

Seen 8 of the 10. Didn't know much about Vietman b4. Some of the soldiers interviews are fascinating and horrifying too. Well worth watching.
