A Very Thorough, Powerful Documentary
It is simply the best documentary on the American POWs in North Vietnam. After reading numerous books on the Vietnam POW experience, this film is very thorough. It gets chilling when the POWs are speaking, then a flashback film footage showing their conditions at the time of their captivity. My anger towards Jane Fonda was heightened as I watched this film. I'll never forget her calling the POWs ...

EXCELLENT INSPIRATIONAL STORY!

The Lessons of Vietnam?
DVD REVIEW I have previously reviewed Stanley Karnow companion book, Vietnam-A History, that goes with this ten-part series. I have reposted that review below for the convenience of the reader. Most of the political points that I have made there apply here as well. I would only add that visually some of the footage brought the message home more clearly that on the printed page and I would ...
Return With Honor
Everett Alvarez,

American Film Foundation, 1999
Return with Honor tells the gripping story of American fighter pilots shot down over North Vietnam and the challenges to survive with honor as POWs for up to eight and a half years. The film includes astounding, never-before-seen footage from the archives of Vietnam and contains riveting first person accounts of the hidden war behind prison walls. It is an inspiring testament to faith, brotherhood and the resilience of the human spirit.
