Summary: Vietnam was the longest war in America’s history and the most divisive in more than a century. Even today, long after the fall of Saigon, U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia remains misunderstood, misinterpreted and misrepresented. This feature-length documentary explores the genesis of America’s “quagmire” in the region—from the roots of Vietnamese nationalism, a century of French colonialism, and the First Indochina War, through America’s costly military engagement and eventual withdrawal from the region..
