April, 1975. As the North Vietnamese Army closed in on Saigon, South Vietnamese resistance crumbled. This documentary examines the final days of American presence in Saigon and the heroic efforts to help evacuate 135,000 South Vietnamese. In April of 1975, the North Vietnamese Army was closing in on Saigon as South Vietnamese resistance was crumbling. Approximately 5,000 Americans remained with roughly 24 hours to get out. Their South Vietnamese allies, co-workers, and friends faced certain imprisonment and possible death if they remained behind, yet there was no official evacuation plan in place. Still, over the last days in Vietnam, with the clock ticking and the city under fire, 135,000 South Vietnamese managed to escape with help from a number of heroic Americans who took matters into their own hands, engaging in unsanctioned and often makeshift operations in a desperate effort to save as many people as possible. Produced and Directed by Rory Kennedy, "Last Days in Vietnam" was nominated for a 2015 Academy Award® for Documentary Feature. (HBO Europe)
