What is this movie about?


I was just wondering what this movie was specifically about. I saw IMDb had an article about it which said it was about "atrocities" commited during the Vietnam War. I am not in a location where it is playing so could someone help me receive a bit more detail on those atrocities? Thanks.

Movie is a documentary about a lot of Vietnam vets who spoke out about atrocities they carried out in the war, lots of killing of civilians and children and burning of villages.

You can check out the movie's web page, http://www.wintersoldierfilm.com/ has reviews and the trailer to download.

You can also Wiki 'Winter Soldier Investigation', they have a pretty detailed artical on the actual event: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_Soldier_Investigation

PS: This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R didn't exist.

Uh, the film was already made 36 years ago, and this was testimony by actual vets who were in Vietnam--exactly what the hell did they have to gain by making any of this up? Really, not a damn thing, except to clear their consciences. The movie was barely even seen or heard of in this country until about 3 years ago, when it was finally re-released. And last time I looked this was a free country---those right-wing wackos like O'Reilly, Beck & Hannity couldn't stop anything that they disagreed with from being made if they wanted to. I guess nobody should make films criticizing the Iraq war either,huh? Amazing how some of you rabid manic right-wingers sound so damn fascist---it's pathetic---you always want to shove your ideology down everybody's throat that dosen't thingk exactly like you--that's sad as hell.

Just because you and your buddies did not see racism does not mean that racism did not exist on the part of the military throughout the entirety of the Vietnam War.
