Documentary shown as part of a short season of programmes marking the
20th anniversary of the end of the war. During the American assault of 1965, the farmers and their families of Cu Chi, just west of Saigon, survived by digging 150 miles of tunnels and building underground schools and hospitals. People got married and gave birth in the tunnels, which became a motif of the ingenuity and determination of the Vietnamese resistance. Almost 30 years on, American film-maker Mickey Grant enables the people of Cu Chi to recount their remarkable story. In English and Vietnamese with subtitles.
