WHAT REMAINS (Production)
Mrs Nguyen Thi Thanh Nhan, a veteran of the war in Vietnam, volunteers her time to help find Vietnam’s more than 300,000 wartime missing persons.
Less and less of Vietnam’s missing are being found as graves remain unmarked in national cemeteries, remains degrade in the tropical jungles and relatives die without learning the whereabouts of their loved ones.
