Stories from Vietnam (Part 2)

Stories from Vietnam (Part 1)
In this two-part series, we first explore some of the contextual factors that motivated people to fight and die for their country - or socioeconomic ideology - during the Vietnam War. Episode 2 then dives headlong into the thick sweltering jungle in search of - not yetis - a platoon of ghosts and a half-man-half-tiger the CIA are desperate to kill.
