Last Days in Vietnam (2014)

- an intense look at the last few days of April 1975 when the US embassy in Saigon was evacuated
- the story is told through interviews and film footage taken at the time
- the men who were interviewed for the film, and it was only men who were interviewed, were a mix of military and civilian, American and Vietnamese
- the music was used very effectively to build the sense of tension
- I first heard about this movie on WYNC on the Leonard Lopate Show just before it was released
