EXCLUSIVE: Apple TV+ has turned to the producers of Emmy-winner 9/11: One Day In America to tell the story of the Vietnam War.
72 Films, the British production company owned by Fremantle, will mix immersive archive footage with first-person testimony for Apple’s six-part docuseries Vietnam: The War That Changed America.
The show has been commissioned to mark the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and will bring together soldiers and civilians on all sides who lived through the conflict.
Each episode features reunions and the emotional stories told by those who faced agonizing life-or-death situations and impossible moral decisions.
Vietnam: The War That Changed America is directed by Rob Coldstream, who teamed with 72 Films to helm John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial for Apple last year.
Caroline Marsden (9/11: One Day In America) produces. Executive producers are David Glover (9/11: One Day in America) and Mark Raphael (Crime and Punishment).
Nat Geo’s 9/11: One Day in America told the story of the New York terror attack from first impact to last rescue. It won the News and Documentary Emmy Award for Outstanding Historical Documentary.
