Description:
Many of the entertainers who toured the Vietnam war were well known...but not all.
Filmmaker Mara Wallis belonged to this group of freelance performers for over 2 years and returns to the intensity of the times to tell their compelling stories in "Entertaining Vietnam."
The entertainers we meet returned repeatedly to Vietnam, hitching rides from base to base to perform on landing zones at remote outposts...there were casualties amongst their ranks.
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.

Entertaining Vietnam. A really terrific documentary. I see lots of documentaries and this is as good as most and better than most.

This is a slice of history never before explored. We've all heard about the USO, but not about the countless young women and men who entertained the troops in Vietnam independently. Great investigative work with several major scoops, and on top of it all, it's entertaining!

I was surprised by this film. Really moves along and is gripping in parts. Its a look at the war that I've never seen before. Forget Bob Hope, these guys really saw some action in the war!
