During the chaotic final weeks of the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese Army closes in on Saigon as the panicked South Vietnamese people desperately attempt to escape.

Last Days in Vietnam
"It was easier to beg for forgiveness, than ask for permission".

Terrific documentary looking at the evacuation process at the end of the Vietnam war. There are some outstanding stories of heroism and courage, and some touching tales of human compassion on both sides of the nations involved. All told by those who were there and incredible footage from the evacuation.

The US has come under a lot of negative comments over the American involvement in South Vietnam but whether you agree with the policy or not, the lives of those who make up these stories is truly one to behold.
