:25:03
[Speaking Vietnamese]
:25:06
[Translator] Everything just
collapsed under the bombs.

:25:09
Everything just caved in.
:25:17
It"s like a bird and its nest.
:25:21
The way things are
with the house in the rubble,

:25:25
the bird comes home
and finds no nest.

:25:29
Where am I to find a place to sit
and work for something to eat?

:25:33
Even a bird needs a nest
it can go back to,

:25:37
crawl into for sleep and food.

[Speaking Vietnamese]

[Translator]
Look, they"re focusing on us now.

:26:08
First they bomb as much as they please,
then they film.

[Man Speaking French]
:26:22
[Translator] We fought
against the Chinese for 12 centuries.

:26:26
We fought against the French
for 100 years.

:26:33
And finally, when the war
was lost by the French in 1954...

:26:37
at the battle of Dien Bien Phu,
:26:40
the Vietnamese were liberated
from foreign oppression.

:26:48
But it was at that precise moment that
the Americans came to Vietnam.

:26:53
Little by little at first.
Then more and more as an invasion,

:26:57
an invasion of the American army.
