Like anyone else who has seen this film, I stumbled across it quite by accident.
I enjoyed it and considered it to be an historically accurate portrayal of the experiences of POW's in North Viet-Nam to the best of my knowledge from other accounts by POW's.
I am a Viet-Nam veteran who has always been puzzled by the obscurity of this film. Why was it never released to theaters?
I am not a conspiracy theorist by nature, but I have always wondered if the wealth and power of Hanoi Jane Fonda might have had something to do with the stifling of this movie. If I am not mistaken, I believe she was married to the media mogul, Ted Turner at the time. Any thoughts?
