Contents/Summary

Summary
Men of troops, colonels or civilians, they chose to testify for the first time since their liberation. These are the surviving prisoners of the Viet Minh camps. Captured or kidnapped during the fighting of the Indochina war, they will become propaganda materials and, according to the formula of Ho Chi Minh's political commissars who "reeducate" them, serve or die! For those who will survive deprivation, bullying and brainwashing, returning to France will not mark the end of the ordeal. Another fight was going to begin: to make known their suffering in an indifferent and often hostile world. This film is their story.
