Turning Point: The Vietnam War Netflix, streaming now

In short, they were 'sincere in what they were doing – the problem was, they didn't know what they were doing.'
Directed by Brian Knappenberger, the docuseries digs into one of history's most divisive conflicts, exploring its lasting impact on America's identity and global role. Using CBS News archives, rare footage, declassified records, and recordings, it outlines the political and cultural repercussions over two decades, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon.

People come to church and are like, 'I really loved you when you cooked that egg'. 'And I'm like, 'Can we talk about Jesus Christ now, the Saviour?'. 'But I feel like when you've lived a good life, you've got a lot to talk about when you're up in the pulpit doing a sermon.' 6 He will then undergo more church training in Wales Credit: Olivia West 6 Glyn, 37, decided on his career change in 2020 Credit: Olivia West 6 He previously told how he 'prayed his way' onto Big Brother Credit: Rex
