Lyrics excerpt - "All we are saying is - Give peace a chance."
This is a picture about war - And, believe me, it isn't a pretty one.
This was a war that the Americans had no business being in.
This was a war where two-faced, US President, Lyndon Johnson promised his gullible citizens that American involvement would only last for a few months.
This was a war that endured (under direct US occupation) for 10 years (1964-1974) and took the lives of 60,000 American military men (with 300,000 wounded) - Not to mention the dead Vietnamese.
This was a war where blacks (and other racial minorities), along with under-privileged whites, were the ones sent to the front lines to fight.
This was a war that was condoned by 2, hypocrite, US presidents (Johnson & Nixon) in order to save political face.
Through interviews, narration, and archival footage - This is a mighty powerful re-telling of the reality of that war, which, as you'll see, is like nothing that Hollywood has ever shown you.
