 Vietnam's Unseen War September 16, 2008
I was surprised by the images from the Communist POV. Tim Page was a bonus as the man meeting his Vietnamese counterparts. The extra with the young woman visiting her parent's homeland and travelling by kayak was also eye-opening. Vietnam is a country that needs better media representation.

Excellent DVD investigating photo journalists of the Vietnam War. Tim Page journeys back to Vietnam to talk with the photographers who worked for the "other side" during the war. The fact that he is internationally renowned for his own work during the Vietnam War lends credibility to this wonderful National Geographic DVD. The emotion that these photographers display helps viewers understand the dramatic and life changing events these photographers witnessed during their time in Vietnam.
I have used this DVD as part of my Vietnam War History Unit for my Grade 11 Modern History class. The special features are also a must see.
I also recommend this DVD for anyone interested in the contribution of photo journalists during the Vietnam War.

I bought this video thinking that it was going to be a documentary showing the war as viewed by the North Vietnamese government, what it actually turned out to be is a photographers autobiography.
It would be more accurately titled "Tim Page - The War Years".

I just watched this documentary and I was impressed, the quality was outstanding! one of the best war photographer films about the war in VN ever made in my honest opinion.
*1 hour documentary with many never before seen B&W war footage of the Viet cong & NVA very good narration and interviews with actual combat photographers that took these photos over 30 years ago.
*12 picture stills from the book with narration
*bonus 30 minute film called the Decending Dragon about a Vietnamese woman who goes back to VN after 26 years and interviews the people where many of these photos were taken during the war.
*Biography of photographers
total running time is actually about an hour and a half with the bonus documentary
I would highly recommend this DVD and also the companion book titled "Another Vietnam" by Tim Page.
Very good...! March 24, 2005

I bought this DVD and enjoyed it very much. It gives clear insight to what the war photo journalists had to do to get their photos & stories to the masses. Interesting stories from both U.S. and Vietnamese war photo journalists. Also, their is a bonus feature of a Vietnamese girl who escaped Vietnam, was raised in the United States, and goes back to see the native country in which she was born. She goes to Hanoi, Central Highlands, and Saigon to talk to some Vietnamese people about what happened during the Vietnam War and how it has affected their lives. Very moving at times. Yes, their are still photos, but they serve to show us the horror of war. Tim Paiges' story is amazing in itself, that he lived to tell what happened to him and how the experience has changed him. Well worth seeing in my opinion.
