Saigon '68 features testimony from a number of notable figures, central to the reportage of the Vietnam War, including Hal Buell, Bill Eppridge, James S. Robbins, Richard Pyle, Walter Anderson, Morley Safer, Bob Schieffer, and Peter Arnett.
Sloan is the recipient of 24 CINE Awards for excellence in film.
