With palpable outrage, De Antonio (Point of Order, Underground) assembles period interviews with journalists, politicians, and key military personnel and international newsreel and archival footage to create a scathing chronicle of America' escalating involvement in this divisive conflict. The savage and horrific images speak for themselves in perhaps the most controversial film of de Antonio's career, and the film he cites as his personal favorite. (official distributor synopsis)

Yes, it is a document that is definitely not impartial, but precisely in the case of the Vietnam War, something like an impartial document is absolutely necessary. There are scenes here that will truly be etched in your mind, because they show how something was being talked about, while something completely different was happening. What is even more terrifying is that the reality was also recorded.
