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 a 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.
