About “The Wall’s Embrace”

The Wall’s Embrace is a powerful documentary, narrated by Jimmy Buffett, that explores the psychology behind the Vietnam Veterans Memorial’s enduring power to heal. Most Americans who know anything about the Vietnam War know that U.S. servicemen returned to hostility, blame and rejection. What many do not know is how The Wall has helped so many of them heal from the emotional scars they suffered, or why it continues to deeply affect people who visit now, nearly 4 decades later.
