"In November 1982, Vietnam veterans came to Washington to participate in five days of ceremonies culminating in the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. This film records the extremes of emotion experienced by the veterans' reunions and families mourning their deceased ones. In Congressional offices, veterans demand to be compensated for their exposure to Agent Orange. This film does not investigate the causes of the Vietnamese Conflict but serves to present with dignity those whose service was repaid with indifference."
