In August 1961 he, revolutionary student leader, was arrested in Saigon. A show trial and the following year the death sentence. Worldwide protest reached revision: "Life imprisonment", on Con Son also Con Dao: the mountain island. Outgrowth of colonial history another name: Poulo Condor, used in the same breath as: Devil's Island. And recently become sadly famous like Buchenwald: the island of the tiger cages. But also such a keyword: University of Ho Chi Minh. And now only the mountain island again, after 113 years, In the summer of 1975, an unforeseeable area of cells, bunkers, crypts under bars is in front of the camera eye. Often on the walls angry portents of the imminent victory. Chains thrown in heaps, stands, shackles. In the district of the commanders - they came up with the number 53 - enigmatic legacies. The first film in the new Vietnam cycle; an experience report and historical evidence, at a shameful site of imperialism. Written by DEFA See less
