After Tet | Vietnam War Combat Footage | Archive Documentary (1968)

Following the Tet Offensive of January 1968,
the Vietnam War entered a turbulent new chapter
as violence and instability spread
across South Vietnam. In the early months of 1968, ITN’s Alan Hart and
cameramen Peter Brown and Chris Faulds
documented American and South Vietnamese
efforts to push back Viet Cong forces
across the country. Hart’s reports captured some of the fiercest fighting
of early 1968, along with the human cost the war
imposed on South Vietnam’s
civilian population. They are presented here in full.
