Episode overview
Laurens Wildeboer is a war veteran who vowed he'd never return to the scene of his service. He'd seen too much, suffered too much and wanted nothing more to do with Vietnam. And yet here he is on a return mission, 43 years since his first trip there as a young soldier. He had learned of an effort by other vets to help Vietnamese find their fallen and among all the trauma and guilt he'd been holding onto was something very tangible - a box containing the personal effects of an enemy soldier - a battered diary, a book of handwritten poetry and a scarf. Finally, it's time to let go.
