Dear America:Letters Home From Vietnam is a compilation of the letters of certain American soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War. The film is based on a book of the same name which was commissioned by the New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial Commission. The film includes photographs of individual soldiers some of who have died, and also includes 'home-video'-type footage of American soldiers. The film documents the experiences of American soldiers at war at the same time as it portrays the change in the publics attitude towards American involvement in the Vietnam War. The letters written by the American soldiers are read by famous actors such as Michael J. Fox, Martin Sheen and Robert DeNiro. The whole idea of the film was to show the American and Australian public what these soldiers actually faced day in-day out. The film leaves the viewer to weigh up all the evidence and to decide whether American and Australian involvement was right or wrong. In all knowledge that the given information is true. If looking for information on the Vietnam War, and need some personalized examples of soldiers then this film is a must to see. And for those who are just curious about the Vietnam War, I highly recommend seeing it.
