The 17th Parallel: The People's WarShot over two months in the area that marked the divide between North and South Vietnam, this distressing and powerful film documents the lives of the people living under relentless US bombing raids.
Ivens and Loridan lived amongst the community whilst filming and thus bring an urgency and intimacy to their film which, alongside the denouncement of American 'bandits', is saturated with sounds of exploding arsenal and cries of terror.
