Bill Short invited me to his home in Santa Monica this week to meet a special guest, Mr. Huyhn Dong, a national treasurer of Vietnam. Mr. Dong was a soldier in the Vietnam War and fought for the North Vietnamese Army. He had the unusual task of documenting the war utilizing his skills as an artist. His drawings and life story have recently been published and he was in the US for a premier of his book in Boston MA.

I was allowed to interview him and have an hour of footage of him discussing the need for peace, the Vietnam War, and his encouragement for the younger generations to learn more about the effects and experience of war.

It was an amazing evening. We will use excerpts of his story in the zine that Mona and I are creating.
