This show is a bear - I went into it thinking it was going to be a regular - 1 hour deal - I mean, Civil War averages about 1 1/4 hour each - which is the content equivalent of just under 2 hour long "broadcast" shows (for you kids, back in the day, shows were "broadcast" over the air. You didn't have to pay anything for them, but folks would pay to advertise their goods and services on there, thus you had a 1 hour show with 10 to 20 minutes of ads for beer, insurance, cars, boner pills, etc.).
But, these are almost 2 hours - so that's 10 feature films. And you can't passively watch because most of the [EXPLETIVE DELETED] interviews have to be subtitled.

Very smart I thought. I hate when actors or translators take over. They always ham it up. These are Vietnamese men. And old school. To hear their voices waiver is powerful even in Vietnamese. The blonde headed wildly gay Old dude who was an NVA saying how he and his mother who had no idea for 6 years if he was alive or dead “cried but weren’t a spectacle” (something like that). Every guy in their building who went died except him. So they could not celebrate. An actor or translator would have fricked that up.

I think I read that it took about 10 years to complete this documentary.
