The Streets of Saigon

Canada, 1973

Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

This is a “social study” in the true sense, filmed in the streets of Saigon while the Vietnamese war was still going strong. Life went on fairly normally except for the noticeable presence of the military, and the number of children, orphaned, homeless, thrown on their own resources to make a living in the streets. It is these children who are in the forefront of the film, along with some American volunteers who tried to help them. Includes the work of Stephen Erhart with the children.
