Sinekatalog’s take
A television documentary shot on location in South Vietnam, letting participants speak for themselves about the war. Its direct, unvarnished approach feels immediate even now. A valuable historical record for viewers interested in the conflict's human face.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
