During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military launched a massive effort to strengthen South Vietnam’s forces and gradually shift the responsibility of the war effort to them—a strategy known as Vietnamization. As American troops phased out, South Vietnamese soldiers, police, and local defense forces stepped up, supported by advisors and military aid. From riverine warfare in the Mekong Delta to air strikes from massive aircraft carriers, the conflict was fought on land, sea, and air. With a mix of military strategy, civic action, and counterinsurgency, this transition aimed to secure a nation under siege while changing the course of history.

Raised in the slums with terrifying gangs. He grew to inherit a Mafia entity; only to be faced with murder, the electric chair and fierce rivalry.
East of the Congo, dangerous rebel groups find refuge in the forests. Despite its presence, the UN is powerless to the situation.
In Guinea Conakry, at the wheel of their truck, Mamady and her sons face torrential downpours which make the track nightmarish. The abundant rains and the 1,300 streams and rivers that run through the country gave it its nickname: the water tower. However, running water is rare in the country and, to have access to it, it is sometimes necessary to install giant cisterns. Transporting these tanks by bush taxi over the rutted tracks is no easy task. After the palm oil harvest, which provides a minimum of income for residents, only motorcycles can transport the precious liquid. Loaded with dozens of cans, they set off on chaotic tracks on which anything can happen. Directors: Philippe LAFAIX, Frédéric ELHORGA
