Jon Alpert runs the Downtown Community Video Project in New York's Chinatown. From this base he takes off at a moment's notice as a virtual one-man band to report from all over the world - Nicaragua, Cuba, Afghanistan, Iran. His often exclusive reports are shown on network TV in the USA. He has won many Emmy Awards for the unique quality of his work. He remains totally independent. A month or two back, television was full of political reports and analyses on the tenth anniversary of the US pull-out from Vietnam. This video film is the result of Jon Alpert 's fifth visit to Vietnam. What we learn of Vietnam today, of Vietnam ten years after, is through the experiences, the faces, and the voices of the people.
