Vietnam. A television history. Phuong Nam [produced by WGBH Boston Video]
Description
Phuong Nam, a member of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam, recalls traveling to Camp David at Tan Son Nhut in 1973. He recalls his companions digging a well as a precaution against the Thieu regime shutting off the running water and being accused that what they were digging was a tunnel to attack Saigon. It wasn't until Lt. General Phan Hoa got involved that the water returned. Phuong Nam also talks about April 26, 1975 when a message was relayed saying that a safe corridor had been agreed for the American forces and advisors to leave Saigon, and that this was a fabrication on the part of the Americans.
