ZOOM LECTURE: Vietnam Video and Discussion with Aaron Blais

  • Albacore Park 600 Market Street Portsmouth United States (map)

THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR - New Hampshire Humanties To-Go Program!

This Vietnam War film and discussion program utilizes short videos to prompt discussion about the Vietnam War era. Content is culled from Ken Burns' and Lynn Novick's PBS Documentary, THE VIETNAM WAR, which tells the story of one of the most conswquential and divisive events in American history. The videos explore the human dimensions of war that still haunt us today. Witnesses from all sides give their personal testimonies - Americans who fought in the war, those who oppose it, as well as combatents and civilians from North and South Vietnam.
