Another Nicole Kidman headliner Vietnam charts some of the most turbulent years in the history of Australia, the Vietnam war. Kidman plays Megan Goddard, an active anti Vietnam campaigner even though her brother Phil is fighting in the war and her father Douglas is a senior Canberra public servant, seen through the eyes of the Goddard family Vietnam is a stunning piece of television, easily one of the best Australian drama series ever. By focusing on the family we truly get to see the human cost of the effects of war.
