Vietnam
The Elusive Enemy

Dramatic footage filmed by the Vietcong displays their weapons and tactics: the punji stakes and the booby-traps, the landmines and the hit-and-run attacks. See how American forces responded with resourcefulness of their own, from high-tech devices designed to ferret out the unseen enemy, to G.I. “tunnel rats” who hunted the Vietcong in their own hideouts. 57 minutes
Courage Under Fire
Witness the valor and bravery of American soldiers in the heat of battle. Remarkable footage captures combat action from the first U.S. offensives to the incursions into Cambodia meant to speed the war’s end. See the courageous ground troops, the daring helicopter pilots, and the nurses who battled to save the lives of the wounded. It’s an unforgettable protrait of soldiers who faced death daily answering the call of their country and their comrades. 64 minutes

VETERANS OF AMERICA’S LONGEST WAR NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT-UNTIL A HUEY CAME TO TOWN MEET THE GREATEST OF THEIR GENERATION….

This emotion-packed documentary follows the 10,000-mile journey of a battle-scarred UH-1 “Huey” helicopter into America’s backyards to hear the untold stories of Vietnam War veterans and the families who waited for them to come home. The evocative healing power of this film has been described as “the most important thing to happen to Vietnam veterans since the dedication of The Wall.”
