“Vietnam War: Untold Stories” New Documentary Exposes Pro-Communist, Anti-American Lies, Myths, and Propaganda

For sixty years, the Vietnam War has been an issue of bitter contention and division in American society. The dominant narrative promoted by the liberal media, politicians and academics has denigrated our South Vietnamese allies and the American military forces there while sympathizing with and even glorifying the communist Vietcong and communist North Vietnam. April 30, 2025 Marked 50th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, the final pullout of American troops from Vietnam, and the communist takeover of South Vietnam. It was the conclusion of America’s ten-year involvement in that war that cost more than 58,000 American lives and the lives of hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese. Many documentaries on the war have been produced in the decades since, with the 2017 PBS 10-part, $30 million series by Ken Burns topping the list of propaganda pieces perpetuating some of the worst myths, lies, and disinformation about the conflict. Like the more than 1 million Vietnamese refugees who fled the communist slaughter and came to the United States Nam Pham is angered and outraged by the relentless, one-sided perspective that permeates the history-telling about the war in documentaries, textbooks, and popular culture. He came to America with only “the shirt on my back,” as he relates, but through hard work and study, graduated with a university degree, a masters from Harvard University, and a position in the Reagan White House. Nam Pham is now president of the Next Vietnam Projects Foundation and producer of the documentary “Vietnam War: Untold Stories of the South’s Trials, Triumphs, & Tragedies.” He was interviewed by The New American’s senior editor William F. Jasper.
