America's Secret War
While the United States was publicly engaged in the Vietnam War, a secret military operation under the command of the CIA was being waged in the neighboring nation of Laos. At Long Tieng, a concealed airbase in the heart of the country, the CIA trained an army of allied guerilla fighters, including a large number of the Hmong people (an ethnic group from southern China, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand), to destroy enemy supply lines. This film uncovers the history of this covert mission through stories of Hmong survivors and a rich collection of never-before-seen archival images, maps, and documents, including recently declassified CIA intelligence.
