The documentary is a piece of my own history. My expectation of the film was a deep, disturbing piece which I will lay in a ditch of despair and harm. My grave thought was dug out and placed on a gratitude standpoint.
I was able to learn about the politics, the citizens of Vietnam, major events, and the overall feel of the Vietnam War. I have further questions about my own history and how I can relate to others who experienced the war aftermath.
I knew that my documentary films viewing will play a major, prominent role for life changes. This film is a crucial point to which I made this encounter. Otherwise, it might took me another ten or twenty years to view.
I found my life to be part of luck. The film discussed the effects of the Agent Orange. My question lies where my family was located and considered safe.
If my mother traveled to another part of the country, how she would become affected and I would have birth defects. This is part of my history to which I feel protected and saved either walking in an alleyway or traveling in a strange land. I will ask questions with gratitude again.
Then one day, my own body will travel back in time as I step onto the Indochina's soil.
