Ken Burns has a new series coming up this fall on PBS. You may remember him from the series he did about the Civil War.
THE VIETNAM WAR, a new 10-part, 18-hour documentary film series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, will air in September 2017 on PBS stations nationwide.
In an immersive narrative, Burns and Novick tell the epic story of the Vietnam War as it has never-before been told on film. THE VIETNAM WAR features testimony from nearly 100 witnesses, including many Americans who fought in the war and others who opposed it, as well as Vietnamese combatants and civilians from both the winning and losing sides.
“We are all searching for some meaning in this terrible tragedy. Ken and I have tried to shed new light on the human dimensions of the war by looking at it from the bottom up, the top down and from all sides,” Novick said.
Six years in the making, the series brings the war and the chaotic epoch it encompassed viscerally to life.

Ken Burns docs are so well researched and well made.
I hope the GenXers watch this series and learn something about our Baby-Boomers times. I've read many posts here on DU that were written by GenXers that demonstrate they have no clue what we went through during that time.
Just sayin'
A 13-part series in 1983 on PBS. Sorry, I can't find video for it, but the book it was based on is on Amazon and other sites. I t was a magnificent documentary--I recall watching it religiously. Just outstanding!
