Review of Last Days in Vietnam (2014) by Eric H — 26 Feb 2015

I sat in the interview really amazed at the way the story was told. It brought tears to my eyes in several parts. It is a reminder also of how the military of the USA was at a very low point in public opinion due to the Vietnam war, and the general feeling of the American public was that we were "done" over there and no more money ought to be spent on any sort of military activity.

For that reason this film is a very important piece of military and political history. Very highly recommended.This documentary was extremely well made and it includes some never seen before footage of the chaotic evacuation from Saigon.

For an hour and a half I was glued to the movie screen. The story telling is excellent and it includes words from both the Americans and the South Vietnamese. Perhaps it would have been interesting to add a perspective from the North Vietnamese who were storming the city and why they allowed the helicopters to leave without challenging the evacuation.

All and in all and excellent documentary and one that I enjoyed very much.
