Complete Record: Shows interviews with five American soldiers who are My Lai veterans about what occurred there March 6, 1968, and how they feel about it. Head shots and a few medium shots of My Lai soldiers talking with Richard Hammer.. "There were about one hundred American soldiers who took part in the massacre of over 500 defenseless Vietnam civilians in the village called My Lai. There was no resistance. Every man, woman and child was simply butchered. To understand this insanity we searched throughout the USA for veterans of the action who would discuss it. The army had instructed its veterans not to talk, but we succeeded in finding seven men who would ignore that order." -Joseph Strick James Burkhold, Niagara Falls, New York Jerry Garfola, Stockton, California Gary Crosly, Del Rio, Texas Bernardo Simpson, Jackson, Mississippi Michael Bernard, Carbon Springs, Florida [These names may not be the correct spelling.]
