I wish netflix had these movies:

When I was in Saigon this year, I went to the Bam No Women's Museum with my friend Thao An.
I was struck by this amazing photo taken by
Dr. Duong Quynh Hoa of Vo Thi Thang. as she was being captured for her involvement in attacks against the South Vietnamese and American troops during the Tet siese fire treaty.

The image “http://www.blazerhead.com/blogs/blog/photos/blog_pics/images/1007/500x347.aspx” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

So there is this movie about how women were treated as equals while the war was happening but their positions has been slipping as Vietnam modernizes. It is not on netflix.

Rising Above:
Women of Vietnam

Some others I would like to see but are not available on netflix:
The Other Final
The Last of the Hiding Tribes: Return from Extinction
