Marquette – DocuMonday will screen the film “Last Days in Vietnam” on Monday, June 6 at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of the Peter White Public Library.
Through old news footage, Director Rory Kennedy documents the chaotic final days of the Vietnam War in 1975, with the North Vietnamese Army closing in on Saigon as the South Vietnamese resistance crumbles. The U.S. under the leadership of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and President Gerald Ford, following the resignation of Richard Nixon, readied to withdraw while South Vietnamese allies, co-workers, and friends faced certain imprisonment. The evacuation became terminally delayed.
“Last Days of Vietnam” was released in 2014 at the Sundance Film Festival, is not rated and runs for 98 minutes. There is no admission charge. For more information visit www.pwpl.info or call 226-4318.
