Description

Phuoc Tuy Province, South Vietnam. February 1971. Seven years have passed since this elderly Vietnamese woman last saw her only daughter. At the age of seventeen, her daughter ran off to join the Viet Cong. She has not returned, but is still alive, according to former Viet Cong who have handed themselves in to the Chieu Hoi Centre in Phuoc Tuy Province. The mother is talking to two members of an Armed Propaganda Team, former Viet Cong who have rallied, and travelled throughout provinces explaining the advantages of surrendering.
