Vietnam on Screen

Studio 360

What do we know about a particular war after we’ve seen it reenacted dozens of times in dozens of different films? The U.S. pulled out of Vietnam in 1975, and we’ve been watching movies about it ever since. Film historians Larry Suid and Frank McAdams help us sort through them. Produced by Jonathan Mitchell.
