Return To Dakto

Set in Vietnam, this documentary about war veterans is surely going to touch your hearts.  The documentary traverses through the stories of five American veteran soldiers, who faced the Vietnam War.

All five are different from each other in perceiving the war and its aftermath, but there is one thing in common- they all lived through it! One has a post traumatic stress disorder, while the other seeks answers to all that went wrong; one still lives the dream of that one last fight, while the other just cherishes the fond memories of patriotism.  The movie begins in current day Saigon, where the five meet. Mostly rusty and worn out, they recollect the faint memories of the country, where they fought for their country. The plot revolves around an incident, where the U.S government abandoned the 299th Engineers at Dakto.

How the five struggled to get food and water while fighting enemies is an integral part of the movie cum documentary, which highlights the effect of carrying over the experiences of war on those who fight it and their generations to come. The five perform a special ceremony to pay tribute to the deceased, while being high on emotions at the old airstrip, where the U.S. army suffered heavy losses.
