The Viet Cong - Declassified - Documentary

Jungle warfare was perfected by the North Vietnamese. From their hidden tunnel cities, the Viet Cong launched operations that were terrifying in their ingenuity, savagery, and persistence. The 10-day battle for the place that came to be known as Hamburger Hill was perhaps the classic conflict of the Vietnam War.

Piecing together newly disclosed stories from both sides, we learn how American commanders made the mistake of fighting this battle as they had fought WWII. The North Vietnamese, employing a very different set of strategies, built a massive warren of tunnels and then faded into Laos when the battle turned against them.

Cu Chi Tunnels - Strategies of the Vietcong

The documentary contains interviews with former guerilla fighters of the National Liberation Front (Vietcong) where they discuss the strategies used by them to defeat the World's most powerful conventional army - The US Army.

Cu Chi Tunnels - Documentary film on the Vietcong

The Cu Chi Tunnels, a Mickey Grant film, is the story of life underground told by the people who lived the experience. It is a story told by a surgeon, an artist, and actress, an engineer, and the few survivors of the guerilla band who left the tunnels each night to fight against an enemy of vastly superior strength.

Attached to the guerilla bands were Viet Cong documentary cameramen and camerawomen whose footage of the war from the Vietnamese point of view and of love, life and death in the tunnels has survived and is used in the film.
