Vietnam’s Unseen War: Pictures from the Other Side

Synopsis
More than a quarter century after American soldiers left Vietnam, British combat photographer Tim Page embarks on a personal odyssey to reveal haunting, long-hidden photographs that capture the struggles of war. He meets North Vietnamese colleagues as they unveil photos from the other side of the conflict. One out of every three Vietnamese photographers perished in the Vietnam War. Risking their lives to capture the struggle in their homeland, the dangers of war and gruelling jungle conditions often forced them to process grainy black-and-white film in the field, sometimes in a stream under a night sky.

DVD extras include a 29-minute kayaking journey along the coast of Vietnam with the National Geographic film crew.
