Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s ten-part, 18-hour documentary series, THE VIETNAM WAR, tells the epic story of one of the most consequential, divisive, and controversial events in American history as it has never before been told on film. Visceral and immersive, the series explores the human dimensions of the war through revelatory testimony of nearly 80 witnesses from all sides—Americans who fought in the war and others who opposed it, as well as combatants and civilians from North and South Vietnam. Ten years in the making, the series includes rarely seen and digitally re-mastered archival footage from sources around the globe, photographs taken by some of the most celebrated photojournalists of the 20th Century, historic television broadcasts, evocative home movies, and secret audio recordings from inside the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations.

A remarkable memorial to one of the most controversial conflicts in modern history, but also documentary work that couldn't be any better: complex and detailed, but also clear, emotional and never boring. The episodes looking at the Marines from both sides, the war prisoners, the reporters, the families of the fallen soldiers and the diplomats create and highlight a coherent story about the long-standing hardships of the divided and oppressed Vietnamese nation, and the social and political upheavals that this far-away and for many incomprehensible war caused in America. Kennedy, Woodstock, Watergate, Hamburger Hill, Tet, Rolling Thunder: you’ll learn about all that, and if your memory is great, you might even become an expert on a given topic. Together with the massive amount of original footage, the joy of watching this is complemented by the excellent period soundtrack with the biggest hits from The Rolling Stones, Creedence and Simon & Garfunkel. Admirable project.
