This is an amazing film. It's just over an hour long. It chronicles the life and times of one Dieter Dengler, German immigrant, US Navy pilot and Vietnamese prisoner of war. He escapes, which is obvious from the opening scene.

I originally watched the copy posted by YouTube Movies & TV only to find it age-restricted, so you can't embed it. Well, you can, but it won't play anywhere but on YouTube. Then I found this copy and it is not age-restricted, though who knows, YouTube may catch on and slap a restriction on it. Anyway, going by the title and the run time, it's probably the same video I watched. I haven't watched this one yet so I can't say for sure.

There isn't anything visually offensive in the video, but his verbal descriptions of his experiences are horrific.

Dieter flew a Skyraider, which has appeared here before.
