Synopsis

In 1975, the final American officials were evacuated from Saigon by helicopter, and many have never returned. In 1998, World T.E.A.M. Sports, a non-profit organization for athletes with disabilities, organized a 16-day, 1100-mile bicycle journey through Vietnam, connecting veterans from the U.S. and Vietnam. Riders included celebrities like Greg La Monde and Senator John Kerry, with those unable to use their legs riding hand-powered bikes or from tandem bikes with blind riders. The expedition reveals that the veterans' greatest challenges are the memories of war. Former adversaries ride together as a team, traversing the landscape where they once fought. More than a race, the journey is a personal reckoning, with each rider confronting their past struggles individually.
