      abstract = {In 1965, the villagers of one district of Central Vietnam  found themselves on the frontlines of an increasingly  brutal war. For these villagers, the war became a struggle  for survival. They would choose a remarkable course of  action. Rather than flee their ancestral village, they dug  a series of tunnels and moved their entire communities  underground. Through the personal stories of tunnelers, as  well as one American former P.O.W. held in the tunnels, we  are transported into this subterranean world.Rare archival  footage, much of which has never been seen in the West,  reveals miles of catacombs where as many as 2,000 people  took shelter. We follow an artist who takes his son back to  Vinh Moc village, and explains how markets, theaters,  hospitals, and schools were created in those war years. An  American Air Force historian gives his perspective. This  extraordinary film contains a capsule history of the war, a  war which the Vietnamese call "The American War".},
