The Vietnam War devastated not only a country, but also millions of lives, both in Vietnam and in the United States. In the 50 years since the war ended, some U.S. veterans, who as young GIs were sent to fight a war far from home, have returned to Vietnam – no longer as soldiers, but as men seeking peace. They come to retrace their steps on battlefields, in tunnels and through villages where they lost friends, their youth and, in many ways, themselves. Among them are some who have connected with Vietnamese victims still suffering, like them, wounds inflicted by Agent Orange.
