Facing Death
Directed by Marcela Feraru, 2009, 86min, French version
Rank and file soldiers, colonel or civilians… they decided to give their testimonies for the first time since their liberation. They are the surviving prisoners from Viet-Minh camps. Having been arrested or kidnapped during the battles of the Indochina War, the prisoners become propaganda material, and the formula of Hô Chi Minh’s political commissioners who “re-educated” them was “serve or die!”. The film tells all about them.
