Minefields & Miniskirts

Minefields And Miniskirts brings to life a collage of true stories: the extraordinary experiences of the women who played a part in the war in Vietnam. A volunteer, a journalist, a nurse, an entertainer and the wife of a veteran relive their time in Vietnam, from the glitz and glamour of the lavish parties, to caring for the soldiers and orphans and the displacement of their (and their husband’s) return to civilian life in Australia.
