During the Vietnam war he lived among the Viet Cong\, and was a friend and admirer of Ho Chi Minh. \nPublic Enemy Number One is a portrait of the man who served as a war correspondent in Japan\, Korea\, and Vietnam. It delves into the controversy he created by his conviction that the West was wrong in Korea and Vietnam. Burchett insisted he was exercising his journalistic responsibility in reporting the truth\, but his critics labelled him a traitor and his country exiled him.\nThis movie received a number of awards including: \n\nBest Film\, Sydney Film Festival\, 1981\nEdinburgh International Film Festival\, 1981\nGolden Gate Award\, San Francisco Film Festival\, 1981\nBerlin Film Festival\, 1981\n\nDetail film 2 \nJOURNALIST WILFRED BURCHETT VISITS THE LIBERATED ZONES OF SOUTH VIETNAM (1964)\n(1964)  Documentary film produced by the Liberation Studios of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam.
