Our Vietnam War on ABC TV – With support for the once enormously popular conflict begins to wane as the war drags on and the US starts to withdraw, the soldiers returning to Australia struggle to reintegrate.
Many suffer post-traumatic stress, as well as the effects of Agent Orange and other chemicals, and feel rejected by the Australian public.
Meanwhile, Vietnamese people, whose lives were upended, arrive in Australia as orphans, refugees and immigrants, changing Australia forever.
