Last Days in Vietnam Trailer

A new documentary from Rory Kennedy 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. With no official evacuation plan in place, the clock ticking, and the city under fire, a number of heroic Americans took matters into their own hands, engaging in unsanctioned and often makeshift operations in a desperate effort to save as many people as possible. In those last days in Vietnam, 135,000 men, women and children managed to escape.

Watched it last night with my parents. It's a must watch for Vietnamese-Americans especially if you're the first generation in the U.S. I've heard the stories from my dad about what it was like to leave, but this painted a better picture to go with my dads story. Makes you count your blessings and be glad that you're here as many others were left behind.

[@eliasnavytanga]

For those who were left behind, most of them survived and some of them are millionaires enjoying the better economy of Vietnam.

[@SMW771510]

As a former Marine and Vietnam Veteran, this film brings back some very sad memories. This film should be broadcasted to the general public so they may appreciate the sacrifice and sorrow of everyone it involved. Great work and perhaps some closure on this chapter of American History! Steve

R u stupid or something?? u can't use the word MURDERED for war. the nature of war is dead and people just die. Please go home look up what murder truthly mean and by the way AMERICA DID NOT MADE WAR(they help when Vietnam war already heppened). If you learn more about the history of this war you MIGHT understand what or which side made this war.

[@isabel2694]

my thought about movie is that americans want to prove their rights when they helped(?) vietnam. i don't know why they had to created so many movies about vietnam and talked about how they suffered in vn, but vietnamese are the one that suffered the most. and i'm not speaking about soldiers, but residents. they lived in fear from both sides, hiding from bombarding and so on, what they truly wanted is to live in peace, but how could they?

[@ktkatte6791]

isabel2694 Our nightmare is that we are to blame for the suffering. Most people look back at the Containment Policy as an amazingly destructive act of extreme fear and paranoia, and Vietnam is the centerpiece of that mistake. An American can look back through recent history and see that we spent decades meddling and fighting for absolutely nothing, for nobody, because we were scared, and untold numbers of people died for it. American obsession with Vietnam is honest remorse, sincere embarassment, and a desperate attempt to understand why we did it

[@DarthRevan449]

isabel2694 I think this movie wants to talk about something that not really talked about. Most Vietnam movies are war movies.

[@doublestrokeroll]

iptik nonsense. Americans view it through their propagandized lens of "we had good intentions but we made mistakes". That's the closest the empire ever gets to admitting wrong doing. The reality was the war was nothing more than america trying to stamp out independence. Like it always does. If America of today were around in 1776 it would have intervened on behalf of the British to CRUSH George Washington and his band of "communists". The Vietnam war was a crime. A criminal terrorist act of extreme violence. Every american that took part in it is a war criminal. I'll cut the grunts some slack and forgive them as they were practically forced into it. But even they were cowards compared to the ones who burned their draft cards, went to Canada, or like the bravest ones, like Ali, chose prison rather than murder for the empire. It's only the fog of propaganda that keeps Americans "trying to understand" why you did it. It has ALWAYS been clear why it was done.

[@absurdsanjuanino]

isabel2694 Mmm I don't think so. Vietnam was a nightmare that ruined patriotism in the US in many ways that will never be recovered. This movie shows the good within some of the soldiers that acted in direct opposition to the orders of that government.

[@isabel2694]

+Matt Irwin if you read more, you would know why it happened so. try to look for "My Lai massacre" or herbicide orange, which was use during the war. and causes a lot of damage on civil's health

Just watched this documentary today morning via RTHK TV, which recall my memory when I was a kid. My old home just 10-mins walk to "Kai Tak Vietnamese Refugee Camp" (nearby Choi Hung MTR station of Hong Kong nowaday). I asked my mother why Vietnamese not look alike us, as I didn't understand. Now understood the hopeless eyes is in Syria. How can we ordinary people can help? I ask myself every day but still seeking the answer.

[@LouielamsonTranNguyen]

The scenes of last day in Saigon. The night of April 28, 1975, the Capital Saigon felt as we're shaking and falling. Apparently, the people feared, terrified and confused, knew there was doom and waiting silently in their homes, while on the streets and everywhere for something to happen. Relentlessly, the night slowly passed, minute by minute, which felt like hours, and the Martial Law settled in around the Presidential Palace. During this time, the South Vietnamese troops moved towards to Saigon, and the mass exodus inside the Capital of South Vietnam is began…

[@Stupot80s]

Just watched it and this brought a tear to my eye, I felt this was just more about the individuals stories then about the politics, you could even see in those americans eyes who worked at the embassy that they were filled with regret and sadness about the situation their country had caused in Vietnam. But the story about the SV army pilot who flew in to get his family and then fly to ship was very intense and pure. You can't say any side was good in this war, the americans should never of gone in and they caused terrible atrocities , but what happened to a lot of SV after the communists took over was horrible.

[@nhungtruong3574]

+Stuart Ackerman Both sides had to suffer, not only SV.

[@sirQuarantino]

Where I can watch this movie?

This movie made me cry. What a horrible fate for those left behind. Some were lucky to escape the madness, but I'm sure most citizens were left behind to suffer the consequences of being with "the wrong side" according to the communists.

[@marianhudec5167]

It was not said a word about why Americans left Vietnam in the film and what Americans left behind. There's no mention of the four million dead, of whom half were civilians, a million wounded and 11 million by the war deprived of a roof over his head. You will not see the jungle and fields of South Vietnam, which dioxin has changed in the desert, or poisoned rivers and land riddled with mines and bombs.

[@BahHumbug-kr1rq]

Marian Hudec To be fair, the documentary is not about the entire decade of the war (with atrocities committed by both sides), it's about the evacuation of Saigon.

[@Georgia37890]

I hope that this wonderful film instills a sense of guilt, remorse, and contrition on the American people and the American political establishment for their betrayal of South Vietnam, the citizens of South Vietnam and those of other Asian nations, and the returning Vietnam Veterans. In my opinion, this betrayal resulted in the USA and American citizenry losing their character such as to insure that the USA would lose it's character as a democratic republic. I served with the U.S. Army; 4th I.D.; 2/8th Inf.; Republic of Vietnam 1969-1970.

[@JWJ237]

Georgia37890 But the division and arguments and insults exchanged on this website by the Vietnamese themselves, show that many Vietnamese did not want the United States to fight the war.

[@brianblueskye9715]

+Georgia37890 Not to be insulting, but you did notice the South Vietnamese had very little rights and were not allowed to vote, right? Plus Diem won election in 1955 by receiving 600,000 votes on a voter roll of 450,000. The Vietnamese didn't want to be ruled by the French and fought them to the bloody end. It was not exactly a win/win situation, and had we won, South Vietnam still would have been just as bad as what Vietnam is today. We seem to believe that Fascism trumps Communism, and we fight in countries where Fascist dictators are installed to protect American interests, and that's exactly what the war in Vietnam was.

[@Georgia37890]

South Vietnam was defeated by a North Vietnamese conventional military invasion supported by Russia, China, and some other nations after the USA had repudiated it's solemn treaty to South Vietnam for continued military support. Did the South Vietnamese people rise in revolt in support for the North Vietnamese invaders? No! They fled en masse risking their lives to escape totalitarian communism. The South Vietnamese people had many more rights and liberties under the South Vietnamese government than under the communists. Now, because we caved in to North Vietnamese, Chinese, and Soviet intimidation in South Vietnam (as was also the case in Korea) we are facing aggressive Chinese expansion which might lead to another world war and, perhaps, to a nuclear holocaust. Because the USA lacked the political will and strategic foresight to oppose Chinese and communist expansion in Vietnam and Korea, China now believes that the USA, will, again fail to have the political will and strategic foresight to oppose their aggressive expansion.

[@brianblueskye9715]

+Georgia37890 You have to realize that a group of people that wanted out doesn't explain the situation at all. What about the Buddhist monk who set himself on fire in South Vietnam in 1963? Do you know the full story behind that? It was because the South Vietnamese military was shooting them, which was known as the "Buddhist Crisis of 1963." There are also a lot of people who will tell you that it didn't matter at all if South Vietnam or North Vietnam won, because both of them were just as bad and were carrying out atrocities during the war. A few people trying to cling on to the helicopter to get out is the one famous media image, but there's much more to the story than that. South Vietnam did NOT have more rights and liberties. The election of Diem was a fraud (he received 600,000 votes out of 450,000), Diem enacted the State of Vietnam referendum in 1955 that stripped away people's voting rights, and he launched police raids on people that opposed him and his government. Tell me again about how much better they had it in South Vietnam, because that's a bunch of b.s. Perhaps the wealthy had it nice given the wealthy love fascist dictators because they don't feel the effects of it, the U.S. soldiers stationed in Saigon probably loved it because they weren't citizens, and I'm sure the South Vietnamese military loved it because they carried out all of fascism's dirty deeds. Fascism and Communism are both 2 extremes, and neither of them do people any good, and perhaps people wanted to get out of South Vietnam to avoid both.

The following is the URL of the web page containing an excerpt from Chapter Two (entitled: The National Will: The Congress") from the excellent book by Harry B. Summers entitled: "American Strategy in Vietnam: A Critical Analysis": books.google.com/books?id=KKVJttTeziMC&pg=PA15&lpg=PA15&dq=Why+Didn't+the+USA+Declare+War+during+Vietnam+War?&source=bl&ots=JacDWK37Cv&sig=6ykqLd3O3nBCKDifTtFz4AaDNb8&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCMQ6AEwATgKahUKEwilgLSr7bXIAhUK9GMKHV29D8A#v=onepage&q=Why%20Didn't%20the%20USA%20Declare%20War%20during%20Vietnam%20War%3F&f=false In it, Colonel Summers provides facts and reasoned arguments as to why the USA should have declared war on North Vietnam and the VC during the War in Vietnam. I definitively agree with Colonel Summers in this regard.

[@arttoegemann]

The US failed Vietnam from beginning to end. US troops were deployed because "South Vietnam" could not defend itself, no amount of aid would change that. The US quit the war in 1973. The US had two years, 1973-1975 to evacuate Vietnam with a refugee program. Instead it stuck its head in the sand so that instead of an evacuation there was a rout, including the spectacle of dumping helicopters in the bay of Saigon.

[@bolobalaman]

South Vietnam was bunch off corrupt and coward

[@arttoegemann]

Hai Ha Do Anti war groups, protesters, and conscientious objectors should be commended and paid for objecting, in all ways and manner, to the US war with Vietnam. You should read Robert McNamara's In Retrospect: the tragedy and lessons of Vietnam. Cure your brainwash.

[@arttoegemann]

There was no, there is no South Vietnam. And we're talking about Vietnam, not Cambodia. And socialist Vietnam ended Pol Pot's mass murder in socialist Cambodia. It's complicated. Vietnam is much better without the US war. It isn't complicated. Are you in Australia?

[@arttoegemann]

The popular history I rely on is: after the Vietnamese won the battle at Dien Bien Phu, the line drawn at the 17 latitude by the 1954 Geneva Accord was to last only two years, during which time elections would be held to create a government. In 1956, Viet Minh controlled 2/3 of the land. Ho Chi Minh was recognized internationally as the popular, 80%, choice of the Vietnamese, including by US President Eisenhower. But, leaders in the south refused to participate in those elections. Appointment is not election; Boa Dai was a discredited leader, barely in the country, a despot appointing despots. The example of Korea does not mean Vietnam should be divided. That example means Korea should be united, at Seoul, because 2/3 of the population of Korea choose to the live in South Korea. This way the populations, democratic majorities, of both countries are respected. SEATO, Australia/UK, US intervention was never a good idea, was policy exactly opposite of what the facts indicated. We should respect those Vietnamese who freed Vietnam from French colonialism and created the modern, contemporary nation of Vietnam. Blaming US citizens and internationals who knew and know this makes no sense and is the opposite of what is called for. I asked if you are Australian because of the way you spelled "labour".

[@arttoegemann]

Hai Ha Do" Ho's government that kills hundred of millions of VNese." That is not a true number. Hai, I do not know your personal experience. I do know mine and I am certain that protest was just and well informed. Read Eisenhower's Mandate for Change; McNamara's In Retrospect: the tragedy and lessons of Vietnam.

[@nhanchuworld2054]

Plea From a Simple Vietnamese I have been terrified since the event of 911, not because of the accused terrorists, nor the illegal, abusive activities of political governments. For I know exactly what they are, who they are, and their nature. I have been terrified by you, my fellow human beings! Yes, by YOU. Because you now are running the opposite way from liberty toward the political governments, which are the very institutions that we, generations after generations all around the world, have fought hard against to take back our liberty and dignity. I am terrified by your amnesia. Throughout our history as humankind, political governments never gave us, the people, anything, even the protection that is supposed their job. They enslave us, and we have to protect ourselves against the power of our own governments. They always find ways to take, and steal away from us our property, our liberty, and our dignity. Remember it is we, the people, who have fought hard and sacrificed in many different ways to force them, the Kings, Queens, Presidents, Generals, etceteras, to give in, give up, and give back our rights, our dignity, our life as free peoples. All legal documents such as the constitutions do not give us our rights and liberty. These documents only recognize our rights after we, the people, have fought so hard for generations to force the political governments to give in by writing these documents. So please do not mistake that THEY, the political governments, gave us these documents, but we have fought and forced them to do so. They did not give. That's why political governments always try to bend and ignore the documents if we stop fighting. The battle for liberty never ends, for the political government always tries to steal away our rights, our liberty as much as they can, and only give in and give back as little as they are forced to do so by us. We must not forget this. Most of wars we have been forced to fight are the products of conflicts between and among political governments, not between peoples themselves. More than often political governments have spent our lives just to experiment or prove their "grand ideas," because, as Mike Rogers explains, they "don’t normally send their kids off to die in wars; high-ranking government officials are always in bed with arms and weapons manufacturers and always looking for a way to line their pockets. The governments start the wars and the people pay the price." We, Buddhists, Muslims, Christians, Jews, have lived peacefully together, have done business, exchanged goods and services, even married without any problem, until political government gets in and takes control. Our histories, our experiences speak for themselves. I am not a Jew, or a German, to speak of the experiences under Hitler. I am not a Russian, or a Chinese, to tell you about Stalin and Mao regimes. I am a Vietnamese, and I will tell you about the Vietnamese experience of political government. The Vietnamese were enslaved by the Chinese, then the French, then the Japanese political governments. In 1945 HoChiMinh and his gang’s so-called "Communist Party" unified us to expel the French. So we did trust him and his gang and we sacrificed our property, and our lives, to fight for our "independence," only to be enslaved, exploited, and murdered more by HoChiMinh and his Party than under the French and the Japanese occupations. Yet, we've put up with them. Like any governments, HoChiMinh and his gang were very cunning in choosing the timing of their plans. During the DienBienPhu campaign (1950-1954), at the height of this war (1953), Ho and his gang started their plot, "the land reform," which lasted from 1953 to 1956, and which murdered and sent between 300,000 to millions of people to concentration camps, always in the name of the people, "to protect the nation and the people" and "to take from the rich and give to the poor." It should be noted here that there is no way we can have the exact number of victims, and the exact scope of this crime, due to the lying, deceitful nature of political government. However, given that the majority of Vietnamese people at that time were farmers (90-95% lived and worked in agriculture), and the fact that a person who owned a small piece of land would be categorized as a "landlord," that an owner of a small shop would be classified as "capitalist" by Ho's Communist regime, the whole family would be imprisoned, and persecuted. So my estimation is still conservative. He chose this timing to carry out the "land reform" as a disguise of purging non-communists members and those who opposed or even doubted his and his party leaderships, because Vietnamese people were focusing on the struggle against the French. Many poor peasants hated not only the French, but also those who were better off. HoChiMinh and his gang exploited the "dark sentiment" of the masses at that time: sentimental nationalism against the French, and envy of the rich. This explains why, when the "land reform" hurt not only those "reactionary elements" but also the peasants and the families of communist cadres themselves, the people cried out for mercy. Ho himself, and Vo Nguyen Giap, the hero of DienBienPhu, then appeared before the public, shed some tears, and apologized. That was all. And the people forgave them. But it did not stop there; Ho and his gang later drummed up a new enemy, the USA, and plunged the whole North VietNam into war, with, of course, a beautiful slogan, "liberate the fatherland from the USA imperialists." That was just half truth. The whole truth is that Ho and his gang wanted to experiment with the "grand ideas" of Communism on the whole nation. The political situation and the living conditions of the whole VietNam after 1975 speaks for itself. In the South, under the "protection" and "assistance" of the USA, the dictator Ngo Dinh Diem and the Generals tricked the people into the belief that "the GIs come to defend democracy and liberty of the South." Ironically, few of us admit that there was no democracy or liberty in the South to protect or defend at the first place! But people feared the Communists, and accepted their government’s explanation. Thus we, the Vietnamese people, murdered each other, hated each other, and the South let the GIs burn villages, and massacre innocent people without loud protest. The war lasted for 20 years with 3-5 millions Vietnamese, 58,000 GIs deaths, and many broken lives today. Today if you meet a Vietnamese exile in California or Texas you shouldn’t be surprised if he or she is apologetic for the USA, or even defends the atrocities that the USA committed during the War. The same is true if you meet some one in Hanoi; there you would hear a mantra praising beloved HoChiMinh and the Party. In fact, today many of us still call them "heroes." Some of us even call HoChiMinh a "saint!" Yet, many of you who live in the Western world would have pity for and even look down on people like North Koreans, or Vietnamese for their "imbecility," "stupidity," and "submissiveness" in putting up with such regimes. You would be partly right, and you may have a sense of superiority in this respect. But you would also be wrong! You are not superior in any sense, except that you may be materially richer. Look at yourselves! You let your political governments fake evidence and lie you into war after war, particularly this current war, which has destroyed other people’s lives, your lives, those of your loved ones; you also let your governments take away your rights, and your liberty. Is it the "Manifest Destiny" that you believe in? Ho could have used that line! My friends, I know for a fact that many of you still believe deeply in the "The White Man’s Burden," and that you are the chosen ones to carry out that "manifest destiny" through your political governments. You know full well, with concrete evidence, that your governments lied to you, and took away your rights, took away even your dignity as once great people who would fight anyone who dares tell you what to do and how to live your life, but now you have openly gone along with your governments in making wars, and stripping away your own liberty. Why? Because your government has satisfied your dark side? Deny this if you want, but many of you just don't like Blacks, and hate Muslims. Thus, apart from the fear that your government has invented and installed into your society, as long as your government humiliates, demonizes "them," namely the Muslims, you are happy to pardon your government. So please, don't tell me and our fellow human beings around the world that you have been deceived. You deceive yourselves. I know that I am incriminating myself in writing this under the Australian’s new sedition law. But as a citizen of this planet of humankind, I owe too much to many people who have fought and sacrificed their lives for our rights of free speech, freedom of expression, to be silent. I will not let their deaths and sacrifices pass in vain. I do believe: "If large numbers of people believe in freedom of speech, there will be freedom of speech even if the law forbids it. But if public opinion is sluggish, inconvenient minorities will be persecuted, even if laws exist to protect them." George Orwell [Eric Arthur Blair] (1903-1950); I also am convinced that: "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." ~ Albert Einstein. I know it is dangerous for me, but I have to speak my mind, for I owe too much to those who, as in the words of Étienne de La Boétie as quoted in an essay of Mark Davis, "Fascists-R-Us": "... having good minds of their own, have further trained them by study and learning. Even if liberty had entirely perished from the earth, such men would invent it. For them slavery has no satisfactions, no matter how well disguised.” I want to be one not to invent liberty, but to keep Liberty that we have now alive and well. And I ask you, beg you, my friends, to be such a person. It is for an obvious selfish reason. I am better off if you are one such person. Please do not deceive yourselves anymore. Please free yourselves, and I am right there with you. November 14, 2005 NguyenKhaPhamThanhChuong fled Vietnam with the boat people in 1983 and has lived in Australia since then. He returned to Vietnam in 1997, but was expelled for anti-government activities.

Wish LBJ had applied action to those words. As it was, all that administration accomplished was to try to micromanage a war, down to the tactical level, from the sterile comforts of Washington, DC. What we really need to do is to get our arses out of the UN. Vietnam was just another UN scenario: draw a line, commies on one side, democratically inclined on the other. Of course, the commies always invade their neighbor on the other side of the line (Korea, Vietnam, etc.) and guess who gets to supply the lion's share of the blood and treasure to repel those invaders. Yep. Good ol' Uncle Sam. I'm agreed with LBJ -- no more round eyes dying for slant eyes. Fall back on the Monroe Doctrine and stop making these binding agreements that oblige us to get involved in their squabbles.

He just mean American boys that wasn't blood related (that's also how it usually works)

[@chrisle2691]

Actually, "Asian boys" didn't need "American boys" over there to fight. They just need the resources to fight, as with any other poor countries. As the matter of facts, Ngo Dinh Diem the first president of South Vietnam (1955-1963) didn't agree to let US Army in the country, and he was assassinated by the CIA...

Whiteman, American, America you caused so much wound and sorrow in people's lives all over the world. You claimed communist will run through Vietnam if you don't go in - Communist occupies Vietnam today and what happened? Nothing, absolutely nota thing. What's more, America and vietnam are friends and business partners. You America caused so much innocent lives. You are so evil. Look, what you have done to the world?!

g0dknjght You apparently don't know the meanings of the word traitor. Ho Chi Minh is the biggest traitor for bringing Communism to Vietnam. He killed thousands of other patriots to seize power, taught people to worship Marx, Lenin and Mao; were those men Vietnamese? Go look at the films and pictures of the North before 75; those men's pictures were everywhere. You're still a kid, only speaking from experiences you have with the good time since Vietnam changed ("Đổi Mới"). Communism only brought tears. deaths and sufferings to the people of Vietnam since 1945. The Communist Party only had to change and adopt a market economy like capitalism since the late 80s. I forgive you for having a foul mouth since you don't know any better. I suggest you go back and learn history (not just from the government and teachers in Vietnam) and really use your head to THINK, instead of acting emotionally whenever someone say something bad about Vietnam or its government.

g0dknjght I see. This is the product of Vietnam's education system and moralities under the Communist Party's control. I can understand why and I can see where the country is going.
