Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam

Acclaimed by Siskel and Ebert to be one of the best films ever made about Vietnam, this powerful and emotional film captures the Vietnam experience–the courage, the compassion, the cameraderie, the heartbreak–like no other film has ever done. Reading from actual letters sent by soldiers to their families back home, some of today's finest actors add a real-life script to the never-broadcast newsreel footage, home movies, and photos which illustrate the cataclysmic experiences of these men and women. Period anthems by the Stones, the Doors, Dylan, and many others back this vivid, heartwrenching film.
