 * This video explores in detail the 'media distortions' due to television's misrepresentations during the Vietnam War. It provides a lot of information for us to think about how we need to treat the information we received through the media and what “accurate reporting” should be.
 * This video is part of the documentary “Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam” and provides insightful video on the Tet Offensive and Khe Sahn.
 * This video features some great quotes from Tim O’Brien’s book //The Things they Carried//, which we will be reading for this class, and provides some great visuals and interesting facts as well.
 * This is a wonderful student created mini-documentary about the Kent State shootings and how the American public reacted to it and the war in general.
 * This video shows some great photos from the Vietnam Era accompanied by the music of that time.
 * This video is set to the music of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Run Through the jungle, one of the most important songs of the Vietnam Era. It also features video from director Oliver Stone’s Platoon, 1986’s Oscar winning best picture movie about US infantry men ‘s experience in Vietnam.
 * This video gives an excellent view of modern day Vietnam and how the past has affected the country today. It follows traveler and film maker Martin Watego as he lives in Vietnam for 226 days.
