Film Synopsis:

This is the story of the inner journey back to Vietnam for a group of Marines who fought a desperate battle on Hill 50 in 1966. For many Americans, Vietnam is a war. But by returning to that place where they fought, and some of their fellow Marines died, these men discover a vibrant place and lovely people.

The Carbon Trace Team had the privilege of accompanying the men of Lima Company to Vietnam, where they visited battle sites, met with former adversaries, and discovered a different world than the one they had known.
