He shares his memories, reflections, as well as orally  annotating and contextualizing several thousand pages of primary sources  in his possession. The documentary also taps into Bùi Diễm’s immense  knowledge from having lived through some of the most significant  historical events and transformations in 20th-century  Vietnamese history, American foreign policy, and the Cold War. The  series presents an overarching narrative covering the years from 1945 to  1975. Through Bùi Diễm’s recollections, the documentary series sheds  light on an understudied perspective on the Vietnam War—a complicated  and controversial historical event that is still imperfectly understood. The  series is accompanied by more than 350 pages of Vietnamese  transcription and 170 digitized files of original documents.
