Southeast Asia, 1960's. Flash point of the Cold War.
“Dateline-Saigon” tells the inspiring story of a small group of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists — David Halberstam, Neil Sheehan, Malcolm Browne, Peter Arnett, and photojournalist Horst Faas — who fought to report a truth that was vastly different from the rosy version put forth by the White House during the early years of the Vietnam War...even as their own government sought to discredit them.
Narrated by Sam Waterston, the documentary combines the drama and high stakes of “All the President's Men” with the romance and danger of “The Year of Living Dangerously.”
