Authoritative and exhaustive. A must-watch.

The film is rich in archival-memory and first-person recollections of many key figures, of higher and lower or no rank at all.

There's nothing innovative in the filmmaking, it's simply a gracefully told story - tense here; poignant there - with strong detailing.

[A] disarming documentary about the fall of Saigon, a movie that is as much about human decency as diplomatic incompetence.
January 6, 2015 | Full Review… -
Archived film of the final, chaotic push to clear the embassy compound by helicopter is as dramatic as any thriller, heightened by stories of bravery and risk.
October 30, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
A testament to people, as one source puts it, "doing their best under terrible circumstances."

Audience Reviews for Last Days in Vietnam

May 02, 2015A historical documentary with surprising emotional power and the reason is that it has no real desire to make any kind of statement (for those who were troubled by this fact, I can only say that most people are well aware the Vietnam war was a debacle, so restating it has no impact) other than to tell the facts. I had no idea so much raw footage of those few weeks existed.Alec B Super Reviewer

Feb 19, 2015Held together strongly by powerful interviews and heartbreaking imagery, "Last Days in Vietnam" tells the stories of the many people that were left at the end of the war, who made it out alive to tell their stories and who was unlucky. This film gives a very raw and true look into the lives of these people, and by the end of the film you may find yourself tearing up every now and then. My biggest complaint about this Documentary is that it feels extremely repetitive and many people use a lot of the same material to get their stories across, dragging the film to it's conclusion. At 97-minutes, I truly believe about 20-minutes could have been shaven off to make for a really great film, but it is a good film overall. "Last Days in Vietnam" is not groundbreaking, but it is impressive.KJ P Super Reviewer

Jan 15, 2015One of the better PBS films. I had seen the image of the last plane leaving Vietnam but here we get the full story of fate and how some survive due to circumstance with others being less fortunate.John B Super Reviewer
