[FRAMED] Dateline Saigon

Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival feature DATELINE SAIGON tells the story of five young journalists whose courageous reporting during the early years of the Vietnam War in the face of fierce opposition and worse from our government is uncannily relevant to challenges journalists face today. Dateline-Saigon profiles five Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists The New York Timess David Halberstam; The Associated Presss Malcolm Browne, Peter Arnett, and the legendary photojournalist Horst Faas; and United Press Internationals Neil Sheehan.

Narrated by Sam Waterston, Dateline-Saigon has all the drama and high stakes of All the Presidents Men and the tragedy and romance of The Quiet American.

Dateline Saigon is written and directed by Thomas Herman, produced by Good Neighbor Productions in association with Northern Light Productions.

The best film about journalism in Vietnam Ive ever seen.
-Bob Schieffer, former anchor of CBS Evening News and moderator of Face the Nation
