Description: In the long years of war against France and the U.S., Vietnamese women fought alongside men as equals. Women such as Mrs. Binh, who negotiated with Henry Kissinger at the Paris Peace Accords, and Mrs. Nguyen Thi Dinh, general and deputy commander of the Vietcong forces, reached the highest positions of power. But 20 years after the signing of the peace agreement, the revival of Confucianism and the spread of market forces are conspiring to relegate women once again to the role of second-class citizens.

Description: On April 30, 1975, award-winning journalist John Pilger was on one of the last helicopters to leave the American Embassy in Saigon after having reported the Vietnam War for a decade. The American invasion of Vietnam marked the last stage of the longest war this century, a conflict in which the greatest tonnage of bombs in history was dropped, and more than two million Vietnamese were killed while their bountiful land was devastated. Says Pilger, "this is not just a report on the anniversary of the end of the war. The film describes this new invasion of Vietnam - by the foreign governments and the multinational companies attracted by 'the cheapest labor' in Asia - and how, in offering Vietnam what they glibly call a 'new future in the world market place', these 'investors' may be recreating the past. Vietnam is facing its last battle, but perhaps the most difficult battle of all - to provide a decent life for all its people, while ending its years of isolation.
