Ten years ago I produced a documentary on the Vietnam War. It is named Vietnam: American Holocaust. It shows how the U.S. government killed more than 3 million Vietnamese in their War of Independence. It starts with the history of the conflict from WWII and the defeat of the French. It tells how the American people were lied into the conflict in the Gulf of Tonkin. Then it shows how the killing was done. It includes testimony from soldiers and Vietnamese. It was narrated by Martin Sheen and has been called "The best documentary ever made on the Vietnam War." by Blase Bonpane. David Swanson called it "a powerful documentary" and Ron Kovic said "Every American should see this film!" David Slaky of VFP said "It's the best thing I've seen. I've seen Winter Soldier, Hearts & Minds, you name it, I've seen it. This is the best thing I've seen." Scott Camil of 1st Marines, Winter Soldier, VVAW and VFP said "I can't wait to get this into the high schools." David Zeiger, director of Sir! No Sir! called it "Very Powerful" and Stuart Chandler of Rotten Tomatoes said "This is the best political video on Vietnam and its historic relevance to our times I have ever seen." And Vy Xuan Hong, of the Vietnam National Assembly said simply "Thank you so very much," when he asked for, and received, permission to broadcast it nationwide on VTV4.
The screenplay was translated to Vietnamese by Nguyen Minh Y, Director of International affairs for the Vietnamese Association for Victims of Agent orange. It has also been translated into French and Spanish. It has been broadcast internationally by Russia Today and Free Speech TV, sold on DVD by Amazon and others, and shown on hundreds of local screens from Phnom Penh to Pittsburg. I am pleased to announce that it is now also available on Amazon Prime.
