Vanavond om 20.00 op National Geographic Channel: Vietnam's unseen war.
Meer dan 25 jaar geleden verliet een 20-jarige hippie Engeland voor een reis door Indië en Laos. Hij kwam terecht in een land dat verscheurd werd door de oorlog. Fotojournalist Tim Page keert terug naar Vietnam.
Many Americans think they know the full story of the Vietnam War, but there's a side of the conflict few of them have seen -- how the North Vietnamese media covered the war. Vietnam's Unseen War is a documentary hosted by photographer Tim Page, who visits former soldiers and journalists on both sides of this 30-year struggle and uses the work of North Vietnamese photojournalists to offer an unusual perspective on the tragic consequences of the war, and how it shaped Vietnam's political and economic climate.
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 grueling jungle conditions often forced them to process grainy black-and-white film in the field, sometimes in a stream under a night sky.
