- Fourth and final part of a series investigating the capture of American pilots shot down over North Vietnam. [WARNING: includes brief scenes of dead bodies.]. Several American POWs, including Colonel James Risner, are questioned about their time in Vietnam, their political ideals and their past, with the filmmakers ultimately dismissing the Americans as indifferent. A Vietnamese pilot discusses shooting down Phantoms in defence of the nation, and the documentary ends with a montage of North Vietnamese fighters capturing fallen pilots, including future US Senator John McCain.
