Who Are We?: A Festival Celebrating the Films of Ken Burns

The Vietnam War is a ten-part, 18 hour documentary film series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, released in 2017. In an immersive 360-degree narrative, Burns and Novick tell the epic story of the Vietnam War as it has never before been told on film. The Vietnam War features testimony from nearly 80 witnesses, including many Americans who fought in the war, and others who opposed it, as well as Vietnamese combatants and civilians from both the winning and losing sides.

Episode 5: This is What We Do (July-Dec. 1976)

As casualties mount on both sides, American soldiers face deadly ambushes and artillery. President Lyndon B. Johnson assures the American public that victory is within reach.
