Told with passion and verve "Dateline-Saigon" is a story of why journalism mattered — and why it still matters today.

— Joel Simon, Executive Director, Committee to Protect Journalists

18 May, 2017

Dateline-Saigon tells a story of five journalists who, at great peril, dared to challenge a president and the conventional wisdom of the entire national security establishment. While vividly illuminating events of a half century ago, its relevance to what is happening today is remarkable. Anyone who cares about the future of journalism must see this extraordinary movie.

— Steve Engleberg, Pulitzer Prize-winning Editor-in-Chief, ProPublica

In the era of Trump, “Dateline–Saigon” tells a vital tale of a group of journalists who fought to tell the world a painful and important story even as their own government was trying to discredit them. Narratively powerful, this film is a distant mirror on a present-day drama: the ability of courageous citizens to speak truth to power.

— Alex Gibney, Academy Award-winning director of Taxi to the Dark Side and Zero Days

“Dateline-Saigon” is superb!

— Tom Johnson, former publisher of the Los Angeles Times and president of CNN.

“Dateline-Saigon” brings us back to an era when journalists pursued a noble mission and what they reported mattered. Its five heroes shaped history and elevated their craft. I hope this terrific film can inspire us today to restore that sense of calling and honesty, both to journalism and to our society.

Riveting, utterly gripping, beautifully edited, couldn’t take my eyes off it for a second… an incendiary document.

— Christopher Lydon, former New York Times correspondent; host of WBUR’s Radio Open Source

31 May, 2016

Very moving. A great tribute to the journalists who first put the Vietnam War on the front page of American newspapers. They were an inspiration to the rest of us who followed them into the paddies and jungles of Vietnam to report on the war. They were my heroes and have now become the stuff of legends. An important documentary of an important era of journalism. Five stars.

— Don North, former ABC correspondent and a senior producer of the award-winning documentary, “The Ten Thousand Day War”

Powerful and haunting and important… Every reporter’s dream is to have the fate to cover such a big story.

— Charles Sennott, co-founder Global Post and former Boston Globe foreign correspondent

America's descent into full-scale war in Vietnam remains a puzzle. Dateline-Saigon — at once riveting and sobering — moves us closer to an answer.

— Thomas Patterson, Bradlee Professor of Government and the Press, Harvard University

31 May, 2016

A compelling tale of young reporters telling truth to power in a bygone era of journalism in the dawn of America's ill-conceived military interventions overseas.

— HDS Greenway, Washington Post Saigon reporter and author of Foreign Correspondent, a Memoir

31 May, 2016

Dateline-Saigon produced a wave of sad nostalgia for a war and a time when America lost its innocence and later a conflict in which it had only marginal national interest. It was a time though when young journalists learned to cover a different kind of war, and became the educational tool for informing the American people about the realities of what was happening in Vietnam.

— Marvin Kalb, award-winning correspondent for CBS and NBC News

The best film about journalism in Vietnam I’ve ever seen.

— Bob Schieffer, former anchor of CBS Evening News and moderator of Face the Nation

31 May, 2016

One of the finest films ever made about contemporary journalism. It shows how a handful of brave re-porters brought truth about the Vietnam War to Americans, despite every effort by our government to stop them. A moving tribute to the power of the press and the ability of journalists to resist the dictates of power.

— Stephen Kinzer award-winning author of The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War; former New York Times and Boston Globe correspondent

31 May, 2016

A masterful epic. The film’s lessons have clearly not been properly absorbed, which makes the Vietnam pattern so deftly conveyed so relevant today.

— Peter Grose, former editor of Foreign Affairs magazine and former New York Times Saigon bureau chief

31 May, 2016

A splendid account of the remarkable group of reporters who went to Vietnam at the dawn of America’s military involvement and told the story as they saw it—to remarkable and lasting effect. If it’s true that journalism is the first rough draft of history, theirs is a collective effort that endures. A wonderfully absorbing film.

— Fredrik Logevall, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Embers of War: The Fall of an Empire and the Making of America’s Vietnam, Laurence D. Belfer Professor of International Affairs, Harvard University
