Just this week this documentary opened in cinemas. I saw it last summer at the film festival. And I learned. Officially, the Vietnam Protest was organized and strategized by hippies, anarchists, anti-Americans etc. People who don’t care about the nations consensus and feelings. Someone has to be the enemy of the state being blamed for the disaster. This documentary was about the GI’s who initiated protest movements. Army People in Vietnam who realized one day that what they hear from their families and friends back home doesn’t reflect what they are actually doing. So they started to spread the word, trying to inform about the real situation. You can say that was the beginning of the end. A lot of these Informants faced trials, traitors, communists etc. Most of them had to spend years in prisons. Government, the army and officials tried to keep these voices quiet, turn the events in the opposite. At the screening the director showed up with a big group of these people. And the audience was obviously more than satisfied to finally see someone standing up in this case. The documentary was mostly financed by non-us producers, mostly Europe. I thought this film will have a hard time to find a distributor for the US-market. And here we are.
