Hanoi, Martes 13 (1967, sound)

Description: The film is an account of one day in Vietnam. A parallel is drawn between the life of the American president of the day Lyndon B. Johnson and that of the Vietnamese population. The customs and emotions of the Vietnamese citizens are contrasted with the bombings and casualties of the war. The music plays an important, guiding role in the documentary, which portrays the United States as a sadistic oppressor.

"Filmed in Hanoi on December 13, 1966, this documentary records the lives of people in the Vietnam capital and surrounding countryside at the height of U.S. bombing. Their daily activities are presented in a collage of images: building irrigation ditches, planting rice, fishing, weaving...life continued despite the shower of U.S. bombs. During these air raids, the people formed armed self-defense units so efficient that the life of the nation was not interrupted."
