Description

In 1992 Lynne Sachs grabbed her Bolex and went to Vietnam, Joining her journalist sister Dana to explore the countryside and culture. Pungently suggestive imagery and sound offer accompaniment in Which Way Is East? as the sisters interweave their own impressions with the reminiscences and folk aphorisms they have gathered from war survivors.
