Description

Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War,

Is a 26-part Canadian television documentary on the Vietnam War, was produced in 1980 by Michael Maclear. The series writer, Peter Arnett, was an Associated Press reporter in Vietnam from 1962 to 1975. Maclear visited Vietnam during the production of the series and had access to film material there. He was the first Western journalist allowed to visit that area since the end of the war.
The series aired in Canada on CBC Television, in the United States and in the United Kingdom on Channel 4. CBC aired only 18 of the episodes during the 1980-81 season because the series production was incomplete. The remaining episodes were broadcast during CBC's 1981-82 season. In the US, The documentary series was remastered and consolidated into 13 one hour long episodes By NBC for American television syndication. The Series was released in the UK during the 1984-85 season aired by Channel 4.

The series was released on videocassette format by Embassy Entertainment, in 1987 and Bonneville Worldwide Entertainment, in 1998. It won a National Education Association award for best world documentary. The series was released on DVD By Image Entertainment in 2000 and by Time-Life/Star Vista/VSC in 2013.

Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War is considered by many as the definitive documentary on The Vietnam conflict. Very broad in scope, some consider it too broad complaining that it doesn't go into enough depth to be considered as a great documentary. In my opinion considering the plethora of documentaries that have come out about Vietnam, this is the only one that give you complete coverage of that 30 year long war. From it's roots in the Japanese occupation of Indochina before WWII to final end in 1975, no other documentary explores the basis and genesis of the war like this one does. It doesn't give an opinion, but allows other to state their opinions so you the viewer can judge the validity of those opinions. The lack of commentary will turn some off, but I find it refreshing to hear those people who were actually there give their ideals and understandings. It helps you understand the rights and wrongs. Ho Chi Minh was asked after the Japanese surrender, by the US representative, what he wanted from the US government. His answer? NOTHING, given sitting down at the table with a copy of the US Constitution in his hands. An honest appraisal of the war of Vietnamese independence. If I had to recommend a Vietnam documentary to someone, I would recommend this one, the full 26 episode version, not the cut down 13 episode version.

This release comes from my rip of the 2013 CSC Video 4 disc DVD set, It is coded in x264 and AAC sound at 960x720p (4x3) resolution. It is in full color as shown on TV broadcast back in 1980-85 and I have done no alteration to the video or sound..

Surrender



Aired, CBC, February 11 1981; UK Channel 4, May 13, 1985

Episode Twenty-five covers the final seven days of the Vietnam war, the battle for Saigon and the surrender of the south. The Norths troops launch a five pronged attack on Saigon. once Thon Son Nhut airbase is closed by shell fire and the eastern bridges into the city is captured the evacuation begins. since the airport is closed the only way out is by helicopter from the roofs of the government buildings The rich Vietnamese had already escaped weeks earlier all that was left was the government officials and US officials. The US officials order the evacuation by playing a Christmas hymn over the radio which was the signal to evacuate. the North Vietnamese forces make an announcement that they would cease fire to allow all Americans in Saigon to evacuate before they enter the city proper the next day. The US navy had a three aircraft carrier evacuation force off the coast which would take the evacuees away. one of the last US officials was the US Ambassador, a Marine pilot was escorted into his office with a handwritten order from the President Gerald Ford that he be taken out in THIS helicopter. Once the evacuation is over, many of the South Vietnamese army helicopters arrive at the force and make attempts to land on the carriers. They are allowed to land and empty, then are pushed over the side, or ditched in the sea because there is just no more room on the carriers. Hundreds of millions of dollars in perfectly good helicopters are lost. President Ford announces that for Americans, the War is OVER.
