The Vietnam War (Trailer)

The Vietnam War is a ten-part series that provides an in-depth account of one of the most controversial wars the United States has ever fought. Produced by legendary filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, the series brings to light stories that are rarely heard on the subject. People from both sides of the war are interviewed, offering a new and complex account of the conflict and its devastating impact.

The documentary took over ten years to produce and includes extremely rare archival footage, never before seen, of the war as it was experienced by soldiers and civilians in Vietnam. It also analyses how the war was presented in the United States on television, radio broadcasts, and in magazines. Footage of the cultural revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s is also woven into the narrative, with clips of concerts and musical recordings that captured the essence of the counterculture.
