Netflix Pulls Hit Series 'Little Women' From Streaming in Vietnam - Find Out Why

According to reports, Little Women was pulled over its depiction of the Vietnam War.

The series seemingly violate Vietnamese Press Law specifically in episodes 3 and 8, where there were depictions and commentary regarding the Vietnamese War, which had more than 320,000 Korean soldiers deployed to the country.

In the episodes, a Korean military veteran brags about his achievements, stating that the “kill-to-death ratio” for Korean troops was 20:1. The episodes also included other forms of allegedly discriminatory slang directed at Vietnamese soldiers during the war.

The episodes mentioned break Clause 4, Article 9 of the Vietnamese Press Law, which prohibits broadcasts with information that incite war, distort history, insult Vietnam or contradict the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Little Women is loosely based on the 1868 novel of the same name by Louisa May Alcott, and hit number one on Netflix in Korea last month.
