The Fall of Saigon, 30 Years Later
Wandering Souls
  Two young soldiers meet on a jungle trail, one lives, one dies. Their fates are connected for 40 years.
   
  Artists reveal how their work was born of war. Featured are authors Tim O’Brien ("The Things They Carried"), Bao Ninh (The Sorrow of War), and Wayne Karlin (Crossover, Lost Armies).
   
  A veteran from the Baltimore ghetto, tells how he survived the despair of war and transformed himself.
   
  The story of the Gilchrist brothers, of Republican Congressman Wayne Gilchrist, who’s represented the 1st Congressional District in Maryland for eight terms and his brothers Jeffrey and Alan who served with him in Vietnam, brother Richard who served in the Navy, and Clifford, who remained home to teach. We join the brothers as they reflect on how their views of the world have grown since that war and been affected by that war.
   
  The stories of poet George Evans, who served as an Air Force medic and who was the first soldier to defeat his court marshal, in a tale that could come straight out of the movie and TV series, MASH. And then we hear the story of Lynda Van Devanter, who was a surgical nurse in 1969 and 70, whose memoir and life story inspired the TV hit series, China Beach.
   
  Take a journey through Vietnam with a group of eight people who went there to produce these radio documentaries. We find the unpredictable, the complexity of the Vietnamese world. We delve into the world of Buddhism we find is the underpinning of the society, and we find a land caught between the hopes of its past and the dreams of its future. We meet the poets, the writers, and the artists who fought during the war with the Americans, and we meet the young people who have come after them with their hopes and dreams for the future.
