Great film, showing a different view of the Vietnam war.
We ran this film at the “Normal” theater, for the Illinois Wesleyan May term series. The director, Barbara Sonneborn, introduced the film, and was on hand after for questions.Our audience was mixed with college students and adults. I am sure the students saw it has history, but the adults had lived this as history. I was one of the adults. Not until this film, did I see the Vietnam war, as more than just a page of history that I missed.
During the showing, all you could hear besides the film, was the muffled sound of the projector. After the film, there were 200 plus people on their feet to applaud Barbara.
Provocative but One-Sided Documentary
This unique documentary clearly portrays some of the tragic effects of war on wives of soldiers from both sides of the Vietnam War.(SPOILER) The director (whose husband was killed in action in that war) blames the US and the South Vietnamese governments for those tragedies and fails to mention the dreadful atrocities inflicted by the Vietnamese Communist guerrillas on many innocent South Vietnamese and indigenous tribal men, women, children.
Despite this slanted retrospective look, the film is well made and worth seeing. (SPOILER) The film’s most redeeming premise is that war indelibly alters the lives of all who suffer the trauma and loss that occurs during wartime.
