Ken Burns and Lynn Novick present an epic chronicle of the Vietnam War, featuring the soldiers, protesters, politicians and families who lived it.

Epic story of one of the most consequential, divisive, and controversial events in history as never told before on film. Visceral and immersive, exploring the human dimensions of the war through revelatory testimony of nearly 80 witnesses

It's good, very detailed on aspects that many might be unaware of. I was young when that war was wrapping up so I saw all the gruesome footage but wasn't really aware enough to know any context.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

good In depth analysis
Love it when President Johnson calls CBS president and asks if they are trying to fuck him over with reporting of the truth in '65
