‘Vietnam: The War That Changed America’ scored by David Schweitzer will premiere Friday 31st January on Apple TV+.
‘Narrated by Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke (“Training Day,” “Boyhood”), the series commemorates the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War, offering a deeply human look at the lives of those who lived through one of the most divisive conflicts in American history.
“Vietnam: The War That Changed America” weaves together powerful first-person testimony, never-before-seen archival footage and emotional reunions between veterans — some of whom haven’t seen each other in nearly half a century — to bring them healing, remembrance and reconciliation. Filmmakers pulled from over 1,100 hours of archival footage to take viewers behind the headlines and into the lives of soldiers, civilians on all sides of the conflict, anti-war protesters and survivors, providing a raw portrait of a nation torn apart by war. Across six episodes, a picture also builds of the profound changes to the United States itself, and the very different country that emerged from the war.’
