The Long Way Home Project
I ordered this item, when the package arrived, there was no DVD in the case. I returned the empty case and asked for a replacement. When the
second package arrived, it was also empty.

I didn't have the chance to purchase this DVD mostly due to its price. However on the [URL] the on line purchase is 39.95 $. Any update on that matter ( on Amazon.com )will boost the sales and more people (especially in Europe) will have an alternative source of information , other than those "blessed" by Jane Fonda or Joan Baez.
An important piece of historical filmmaking October 21, 2002

For those of us in the younger generations, this series will offer a view of the war that we have been denied in our schoold and films for too long. The series captures the essence of what we, as sons of Vietnam veterans, have known all along; that are fathers actions in this war should be noted in history as being as worthy as any other military campaign. I am proud to call my dad a Vietnam veteran, and after watching this series, you too will be proud to thank a veteran of that war, be it an American soldier, or one from the misrepresented south Vietnamese army.
A story that needs to be told October 12, 2002

My dad gave me these DVDs to watch when I mentioned that I had been reading a lot about Viet Nam, and war in general, trying to understand what it was all about. He said that he learned a lot from watching this, and I understand why now that I've seen it myself. There's a lot of flag-waving sentiment that sometimes paints a prettier picture than I think really happened, but there are plenty of anti-war movies you can watch to get that point of view. I'm glad someone decided to produce The Long Way Home Project.

This is the best documentary ever made about the Vietnam war. They scored an impressive 100% accuracy rating on the facts that I checked. The presentation is low key and visually subtle. The director does not hit you over the head with how clever he is, but each interview, each picture adds to the whole, making a very powerful point. No matter what your preconceptions about the Vietnam War, this will make you confront and rethink them.This needs to be seen by the electorate, especially is it appears that we may be getting ready to enter into another shooting war. There are questions about our national commitment that need to be addressed before we send off our sons to fight another war. Those question were never addressed in Vietnam, and that was the essential tragedy of the war. It's an absolute pity that the History Channel won't show this.
