10.0 Vietnam: Ghosts Of War

2004, 1 h 35 m

Documentary

Correspondent Michael Maclear revisits Vietnam to expand on his controversial wartime reports, which portrayed Vietnamese resistance as motivated by Nationalist rather than Communist ideology. Set against the 50th anniversary of the French surrender at Dien Bien Phu (May 7, 1954), which in turn led to U.S. involvement and defeat, this timely documentary contrasts superpower arrogance and the power of human resistance.
