Many of the performers who toured during the Vietnam War were well known ... but not all. Mara Wallis belonged to this forgotten group for three years in the late '60s. Now a filmmaker, Mara returns to the intensity of the times to tell this compelling story in "Entertaining Vietnam." The entertainers we meet returned repeatedly to Vietnam, hitching rides from base to base to perform on the backs of trucks and on landing zones at remote outposts ... some died in the process. Interweaving rare archival footage and interviews with veteran performers from Australia and the U.S., "Entertaining Vietnam" offers new insight into a tumultuous time by taking us to a place only a few really experienced.
