Synopsis:
What drove a company of American soldiers -- ordinary young men from around the country -- to commit the worst atrocity in American military history? Were they “just following orders” as some later declared? Or, did they break under the pressure of a vicious war in which the line between enemy soldier and civilian had been intentionally blurred? American Experience focuses on the 1968 My Lai massacre, its subsequent cover-up, and the heroic efforts of the soldiers who broke ranks to try to halt the atrocities, and then bring them to light.

Reviews:
“For years now the Vietnam War chronicler Oliver Stone has been trying to get his own My Lai project, titled ‘Pinkville’, off the ground. If it ever happens, it’s hard to imagine it will be any better or more moving than ‘My Lai.’”
-The New York Times
