| Summary: | Five army veterans journey back to contemporary Vietnam intending to put their war experiences to rest. Disturbed by the new American wars, writer and Vietnam veteran Christopher Upham reconnects with his old battalion, the 299th Engineers. Upham's long-lost comrades tell him an unsettling truth--they thought that he was killed in the 1969 Dak To siege in Vietnam's Central Highlands. Upham and four Engineer comrades confront ghosts, former enemies, and the legacies of the Vietnam War. Questions raised by this documentary--about the role of soldiers, and the long term personal effects of war--take on a heightened poignancy in our current climate. |
