THE VIETNAM WAR stands as a monument to the complexity of war - rising above party politics by digging beneath stories spun by people in power. Ken Burns and Lynn Novick have created a living document of intensely personal stories from sides once at odds. Veterans, protestors and citizens from both North and South Vietnam unite here to examine wounds inflicted by righteousness and regret, and beg audiences to challenge what they are told today and demand to know why war is ever the answer.
