“Films 4 change” will screen “Vietnam: American Holocaust” on Friday, December 5, at 7 p.m..

The 87-minute documentary exposes one of the worst cases of sustained mass slaughter in history, planned and executed by presidents of both parties. Our generals and soldiers killed 5 million people using incendiary bombs. Vietnam has never left our national consciousness, and it is more relevant than ever.

It documents the White House fabrication of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and raises the question of whether JFK was assassinated to promote the Vietnam War.

It’s based, in part, on declassified White House tapes and documents, and covers the history of the conflict through Wotld War II and the French defeat and onto the American involvement, which was justified by President Lyndon Johnson’s lying to the American people about the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

Testimony from American soldiers and Vietnamese people is featured, along with an exploration of the policies that led our country to war in Indochina. An examination of US mainstream media contrasts its role then and now.

Martin Sheen, who starred in the penultimate Vietnam film. “Apocalypse Now” almost 30 years ago, narrates.

A discussion will follow the film.
