Par leur relecture historique nouvelle, les réalisateurs veuillent réconcilier la nation avec une période douloureuse. Ils y révèlent de nouveaux documents et en analysent d’anciens d’une façon nouvelle. Le rôle des médias durant la guerre, qui a provoqué de vifs débats historiographiques, est envisagé sous un angle neuf. Des photographies iconiques ont longtemps été considérées comme ayant eu une influence sur le cours des événements et ayant laissé une trace dans la mémoire collective. Elles sont maintenant ré-examinées et retrouvent une place dans l’histoire pour jouer un rôle éducatif. Nous sommes donc à un tournant de l’historiographie de la guerre du Vietnam. |
