Apple TV+ has announced the upcoming release of its six-part documentary series, 'Vietnam: The War That Changed America,' premiering January 31, 2025, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon. Narrated by Ethan Hawke, the series presents a deeply personal narrative through first-person accounts, rarely seen archival footage, and emotional reunions among veterans. It aims to provide a raw portrait of the Vietnam War's impact on individuals and the nation, showcasing voices from soldiers, anti-war protesters, and civilians affected by the conflict. The series, produced by a BAFTA and Emmy-winning team, does not include expert commentary, focusing instead on the lived experiences of those directly involved. Over 1,100 hours of archival footage were utilized to create a profound narrative of the war's lasting effects on American society. This documentary seeks to foster healing and remembrance while reflecting on the significant cultural changes that arose from this divisive conflict.
