The Kremlin or their U.S. offices at PBS.org should do it for you.
Maybe John Kerry would have a copy or his fellow traveler Howard Dean.

Hope this helps.

Heh, heh.

I checked with PBS and with the original producer in England. I was asking
for help... what's with the smart ass reply? I thought this group was all
about helping eachother out.

Most large universities have video libraries with historical
documentaries that can be checked out. That's where I would
look first. Call and ask them. You might also find other
documentaries about the war to help your curriculum. Do a
google search of alt.war.vietnam for the My Lai FAQ (I think
it was FAQ 2.16). Hope that helps.

Used to be, but for the last year or so, it would seem that everyone
seems to come in here thinking we all participated in My Lai or a
million other clones of it over the years.

It is what we call a knee jerk reaction I guess. I apologize.

Well Simple - you would probably have got a more helpful response had you
used an email address which indicated you were indeed an educator -
something like simplesoul@harveygs.kent.sch.uk .

Your use of an anonymous account has the same effect as one of us posting to
a Brit veterans group requesting information about British Army atrocities
during the Falklands war, or posting to a Brit Police group and asking about
the practice of "Fitting Up".

The documentary was called 4 Hours in My Lai - it was broadcast in 1989 on
Yorkshire Television.

Kings College has a copy in their library

I thank you all for the help! I guess my quest for privacy (and fear of
spam) can make me look a bit like a "poser". However, I am being genuine and
DO appreciate the info!

Steve
