An anthology of five short films ("The Hands of a Stranger", "The Other War", "A Distant Province", "The Eighth District", and "PHILCAG"), made jointly by Vietnamese and American filmmakers. Collectively, the films "explore the faces of the Vietnam war that lie behind the fighting--those that must fight a war against fear, hunger, and despair. [They are] told through the stories of five "faces": a Filipino doctor and a Vietnamese child; a Vietnamese soldier and a Vietnamese villager; an American technical expert; a Saigon youth; and a Philippine Civic Action Group (PHILCAG) contingent" (US National Archives). The film is hosted by an unnamed man speaking to a Filipino audience (in English); so the anthology likely was screened in and/or partly produced with the Philippines.

A racially diverse acting troupe takes their stage play on the road, one which they hope will encourage voter registration. Under escalating internal tensions, the actors split into race groups and abandon the show.

This film explores how the conflict with the North affects "South Vietnam's traditional culture, and seeks to explain why the South Vietnamese people still have the will to fight. Included in the film are a funeral procession, family life scenes, fishermen and farmers at work, soldiers moving single file along a dike, and a wedding procession" (US National Archives). A binational production between the United States and the (former) Republic of South Vietnam.

A skilled police detective in a case involving the strange, sadistic murder of a young prostitute who has been killed in exactly the same fashion as a young nightclub singer in Saigon during the Vietnam War. At the same time, the detective attempts to ferret out corruption in the police ranks.

"This film deals with South Vietnam's "Open Arms" program, designed to encourage communist defectors. The film presents three defectors who tell how Chieu Hoi leaflets persuaded them to desert the North. Their stories offer a candid and telling testimonial against the Viet Cong. The film was produced and directed by William Bayer" (US National Archives).
