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 documentary that is definitely not impartial, and in the case of the Vietnam War, an impartial documentary is absolutely essential. Some scenes truly stick in your mind because they show how something was being talked about, but in reality, something completely different was happening. What makes it all the more frightening is that the reality has been recorded.
