What a great double bill of docs. Both of those films, which deal with the Vietnam War from two different persepctives, have tremendous resonance today. The Weather Underground is especially thought-provoking, as it examines the internal process a person must go through in order to justify the use of terrorism as a means of advancing political agendas.
