About this film
This unidentified speaker was erroneously identified as Le Minh Dao in production records. This speaker describes leading resistance to the French government, and later to the Diem regime in the mid-1950's following the Geneva Agreement. He outlines why he fought against the Diem regime as revenge for executions, arrests, and land appropriations. He frames the struggle against Diem in both military and political terms, thanking "progressive American people" who came out against the war for boosting the Vietnamese people's morale.
