“This unflinching documentary takes the viewer directly into the heart of the Vietnam War, following a company of American Marines throughout their tension-filled day-to-day lives. With no narrator or composed musical soundtrack, the film lets the moments of the war — including fierce firefights, long stretches of restless boredom and awkward encounters with villagers — speak for themselves. Without a political agenda, the documentary is a straightforward real-life depiction of armed conflict.”

“This film was created from sights and sounds filmed and recorded in Vietnam and are representative of day-to-day encounters of American troops in the heartland of Vietnam. For 97 days director Eugene Jones and a three-man crew trekked through the Vietnam jungle with the point squad” of a Marine platoon. The resulting documentary is an unflinching look at war up close, from jungle patrols and twilight Viet Cong attacks to a child’s birth in a village and a danger-filled mission that results in more than one death”–Amazon product description.”
