Afternoon
I'm working a lot on both sides of what was the DMZ in Vietnam, we clear unexploded bombs from the entire area, basically thousands of them! I have recently been talking to older Vietnamese people, hearing their stories of what life was like during the war from their point of view. I had a few hours of amazing stories from this woman today, she was 17 when she married her husband, he left 4 days later and returned after 6 years fighting, just for a few days before leaving again for 2 years. She saw him for less than a few weeks over the duration of the war, got pregnant each time, she laughed as she told me!
It's interesting, shocking and often difficult to hear the horrific stories of life and death on both sides, it would be a great book project I'm sure, not the big battles, just the daily life of people completely surrounded and absorbed by the conflict.
Anyway, a quick shot of a woman who sees herself as extremely lucky to have survived.
