Civilians are the focus in this Vietnam War documentary that examines the lives and showcases the thoughts of the North Vietnamese people. Displaying a notable amount of anti-American sentiment -- almost all of the Vietnamese interviewees express their anger over the presence of the U.S. Army in their country -- the film ultimately shows how many Vietnamese people took up arms and aligned themselves with the guerrilla troops when the Americans invaded.
