1:29:00
And they poured water on us,
and we had nowhere to run.
1:29:09
Our cells were this big...
1:29:12
and we could do nothing
but stand where we were...
1:29:15
and get the water
and the lime all over us.
1:29:17
Some of us lost our teeth
and our hair.
1:29:20
And when the lime got wet,
it just boiled up, bubbling all over us.
1:29:25
Our hair fell out and our skin
became covered with sores.
1:29:33
They said that
if we were innocent,
1:29:36
they would beat us
until we were guilty,
1:29:39
and that if we were guilty,
1:29:41
they would beat us
until we repent.
1:29:50
In a country where the people
don't hold national sovereignty,
1:29:56
in a country where
the government has proven itself...
1:29:59
to be the enemy of the people,
1:30:01
the prisoners are the patriots.
1:30:04
[Breathing Heavily]
1:30:06
And no matter
how badly treated we are,
1:30:09
still we are proud,
1:30:12
because at least we are free,
1:30:14
instead of enslaved as so many
of the so-called government officials.

And so,you see,
1:30:26
when a Vietnamese works
for peace and for liberty,
1:30:31
he is considered a communist.
1:30:37
It is an honor for the communists
to have to work for peace and justice.
1:30:44
So it is the government which
gives validity to being a communist,
1:30:48
because they continue to say...
1:30:50
that the people who work forjustice
and for peace are communists.
1:30:56
You see?

We were learning to be good soldiers...
