I skipped this when it premiered on TV a few years ago, half expecting something melodramatic or exploitative... but I just finished streaming this and it was so good! I was crying by the end.

We watched it on Stan, which is a streaming service here. They've started doing some original films and series lately, so I bet it won't be long until they launch internationally.
about halfway through this really really long doc and i am enthralled.
i've learned a lot I didn't know. in particular the first episode gets into the pre-Vietnam War French colonization of Vietnam, and I'm ashamed to admit I didn't even know Vietnam was originally a French colony. but it also takes general concepts and lessons from the Vietnam War we all kind of know and clarifies them. Like we know war is fought by young men, but just seeing the faces of the people they are interviewing that were there. They are so young now. I was born in 1981 and Vietnam feels like it was so far away in our past but it really wasn't. To be as young as 17 years old as one soldier's story they tell is and be up in that shit, it's insane.

I didn’t know that until watching the extended cut of Apocalypse Now and my curiosity about them finding the French settlement in the middle of the jungle led me to read into it more.

Battle of Dien Bien Phu is seriously one of the craziest and most interesting conflicts in modern history. You never hear much about it in the States. The only reason I knew about it from a young age is my friend's dad was a super-commie history professor.

i'll also add that maybe the best part of every episode so far is at the end when they are showing these beautiful high definition pictures from the era, with a pop song from the time playing over the slideshow. maybe it's because of the depth and weight of what i've just watched, but those pictures and music have made me emotional every time.
so don't skip to the next episode when the credits start, spend a minute to watch the slideshow. luckily netflix doesn't prompt you to skip to the next episode until the slideshow is over.
It came out when I was in high school. I remember watching it at least a couple times during that period. It was pretty popular with the kids at that time. A few years ago, I saw it on some streaming platform and almost impulse watched it until I realized I could remember the soundtrack and people that were in it but not a damn thing about the plot. I figured that was a bad sign.
