Title: The Horror... Who's Accountable?
Review: Another fine documentary from the PBS catalog directed with a flair strikingly similar to Errol Morris. MY LAI traces the snowball of events that led to possibly the biggest embarrasment and atrocity of Vietnam War/Conflict. Watch this with "Judgement: The Court Martial of Lt. William Calley" for an overall assessment of the incident.Ironically, the entire My Lai Massacre is comparable to Nazi war crimes though not on such a grandiose scale. Yet the U.S. government and military chose to start at the bottom of the totem pole instead of the top when attempting to mete out justice, the exact opposite approach to that at Nuremberg. Ultimately the crimes went unpunished and swept under the rug... or the United States Flag. Obviously we have a different view of justice when dealing with our own. Such hypocracy is a worse atrocity than the mass murder itself.
