Dat Kho

BUY IT: http://www.caachi.com/Members/remisllc/dat_kho/view - Dat Kho (Land of Sorrows), a 1970s foreign, English-subtitled film, starring the beloved Vietnamese iconic songwriter/poet/painter Trinh Cong Son (1939-2001) in what may be his only starring movie role, dramatizes the effect of the Vietnam War on a single South Vietnamese family, the inner conflict of decisions by each member of the family whether to remain in Vietnam or leave with the imminent fall of the city of Hue and eventual fall of Vietnam. It compresses three seminal events of the Vietnam war: (1) the Buddhist uprising in Hue during 1965; (2) the Tet Offensive in 1968; and (3) the 1972 "Summer of Fire". It includes real footage of refugees fleeing the North Vietnamese' Easter Offensive of 1972.
