Geoffrey 1st returned to Vietnam in 1985 as a photojournalist. He was able to gain the trust of the Vietnamese government and became one of the few foreign photographers allowed to take unrestricted photos around the country. Instead of focusing on all of the problems the country had, he was able to show Americans that there was another side to Vietnam. That it was in fact a country full of its people, and not simply a war. His breathtaking photography has become a valued historical document and some of it is shown in the film. His best work can be seen in his book Vietnam: The Land That WeNever Knew. Some of his work was also on display around the capital when the US Congress was voting on early legislation about trade with Vietnam.
