Plot
For three days in 1971, former US soldiers who were in Vietnam testify in Detroit about their war experiences. Nearly 30 speak, describing atrocities personally committed or witnessed, telling of inaccurate body counts, and recounting the process of destroying a village.
Sinekatalog’s take
Veterans testify over three days about atrocities and lies in the Vietnam War. Stark and unvarnished, this documentary relies on raw testimony, and remains a powerful, uncomfortable historical record.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
