AZPM will
implement a coordinated and simultaneous effort of local programming, screening
events, and “Community Voices” workshops to raise awareness of and interest in The Vietnam War and create opportunities

what happened during and after the Vietnam War and what lessons are to be
learned.

produce Arizona and the Vietnam War
