Ken Burns, Lynn Novick et les secrets du Vietnam

Le nouveau documentaire de Burns et Novick est disponible depuis hier et cet article du Washington Post nous permet d'évaluer la tâche titanesque qui attendait les deux réalisateurs. C'est tout simplement fascinant.

 "Burns, Novick and their colleagues had to confront their own memories and preconceptions about the war, sorting out their personal mythologies from the facts. They had to step back from the mountain of books and movies about the conflict so that they could see more clearly what stories hadn’t been told. And then they had to persuade both Americans and Vietnamese soldiers and civilians to share stories about their experiences and reopen debates that remain painful and unresolved 42 years after the last U.S. personnel departed Vietnam.
