Vietnam: The War That Changed America Interview

from GateCrashers · host GateCrashers

Today, we are speaking with the producers Caroline Marsden and David Glover about their documentary series Vietnam: The War That Changed America. This isn't our typical coverage, but this documentary reminded me that people can do something good despite the horrors of a situation. With the use of archival footage, the team working on the documentary was able to reunite veterans years after the war. The series is guided by the voices of soldiers who were nothing more than children when they fought in a war without winners. Upon their return, they were treated like monsters despite so many never asking to fight at all... this docuseries is worth the one-month subscription to Apple TV +. Synopsis: The unique series, narrated by Ethan Hawke, combines first-person testimony and immersive archival footage to tell the extraordinary, personal, and profoundly human stories of those who lived through the war and the changed America that emerged in its wake, commissioned to mark the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and the end of the war in Vietnam. Each episode features powerful reunions and the emotional stories told by those who faced agonizing life-or-death situations and impossible moral decisions. Across six episodes, a picture also builds of the profound changes to America itself and a very different country that emerged from the war.  "Vietnam: The War That Changed America" is produced for Apple TV+ by the BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning team at  72 Films, directed by Rob Coldstream ("John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial") and produced by Caroline Marsden ("9/11: One Day in America"), with executive producers David Glover ("9/11: One Day in America") and Mark Raphael ("Crime and Punishment"). This series marks the second collaboration for Apple TV+ and 72 Films, following the launch of "John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial" last year.
