From the moment China Beach debuted in 1988, with its iconic opening credits set to the Supremes’ Reflections as its theme song, it was hailed as groundbreaking television. In an era of testosterone-driven war movies, China Beach delivered a unique perspective: the Vietnam War through the eyes of women! China Beach was perhaps the best drama ever presented about the true horrors of the Vietnam War and its effects on the lives of the soldiers and civilians involved. Week after week, the war was brought front and center into American homes by master storyteller, John Sacret Young.
