GOING BACK tells the story of a remarkable journey by the first American combat troops to return to Vietnam since the end of the war. It also documents an internal, emotional journey through which they found compassion for the Vietnamese people, resolved to help with humanitarian aid, and came to question the justification for war.

Reviews:
"A very sensitive portrait of four returning veterans. Heart-wrenching...haunting. Excellent for classroom use to show the aftermath of the war and to convey the reality that it is increasingly difficult for countries to stay isolated from the consequences of their actions." EFLA's Evaluations
"A superb documentary...Captures many frank discussions among the men who express their feelings of sorrow, anguish, and guilt regarding their service during the war. The cinematography and sound-track are top-notch. Recommended for high school through adult audiences studying American history, peace education, values education, and psychology." School Library Journal
"Observing the men's emotionally wrenching six days in Vietnam, viewers...come to appreciate another dimension of the Vietnam veteran's experience through this illuminating and moving production for public library audiences and for civic and religious groups." Booklist
