Documentary Chronicles Former POW's Return to Vietnam

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A documentary featuring a Vietnam War prisoner of war on his first visit to country since his release is being screened on Wednesday.

"There. And Back," which follows Charlie Plumb returning to Vietnam, will premiere on Veterans Day at the Sanford Center. Plumb, a Navy fighter pilot, was held in Hanoi as a POW for nearly six years after he was shot down.

Sioux Falls-based writer and director John Mollison says it's been a challenging project. He says the story is about the human condition and how people suffer, endure, heal and ultimately prevail. It also shows that healing isn't a simple task.

A social hour begins at 4:30 p.m., with the screening in the Dakota Room of the Sanford Center on East 60th Street North at 5:30 PM.
