I just finished this extremely good doc about Vietnam called: "The most dangerous man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers" .

I highly recommend it, it's been praised by the critics and it brings quiet a fresh view on thw whole issue. If you're at least a bit curious and interested about war/vietnam/history you really should enjoy this piece of work. If you're not.. Well watch it aswell.

I hope it's not a repost.

Here's the full movie:

Well, it's not an other general resume of what happened and why, it focuses mainly on a character, Daniel Elssberg, more importantly on what he did. He's the man who leaked top secret informations about the war wich lead the war, Vietnam and the USA in a different direction and had huge repercutions.

"For those who lived through the turmoil of Vietnam, and for the generations that have come since, the film is an important document in its own right."
