In 1970, one cameraman followed a battalion of American soldiers into the jungles of Cambodia. The mission was to seek out substantial weapons/supplies caches being used by the North Vietnamese Army during the Vietnam War. AS the battalion closed in on the location of the caches, they encountered a growing resistance from the North Vietnamese forces. Surreal footage and intimate interviews take audiences through each fire fight leading up to the operation's climax, which became infamously known as the "Taking of Shakey's Hill". The hill was named after the battalion's youngest soldier, who lost his life discovering the first cache. The discovery of the massive caches is considered one of the most successful operations of the American Forces during the war.
