Fifty years after the guns fell silent in Southeast Asia, CGTN’s trailer for Vietnam, 50 Years On… The War That Still Speaks shines a spotlight on the personal journeys of veterans, families and survivors. Though the major battles are history, another conflict for peace, healing and truth continues today.
Through intimate interviews and archival footage, the trailer reveals how scars of war run deep: millions of lives lost; communities reshaped; untold stories demanding to be heard. We meet a former soldier retracing familiar landscapes in search of a childhood friend, and a mother still awaiting answers about her missing son.
The documentary poses big questions: Why does trauma endure? How can communities rebuild trust across generations? What does genuine reconciliation look like? By weaving individual stories with reflections on memory and identity, CGTN invites a global audience—especially young viewers—to engage with history in pursuit of a more peaceful future.
Set to release soon on CGTN, Vietnam, 50 Years On… The War That Still Speaks highlights the ongoing quest for healing and truth half a century after one of the 20th century’s most defining conflicts.
