On the 50th Anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, Guy Martin explores the past, present and future of Vietnam, to see how the country is still dealing with the effects of the controversial conflict, and how it is planning a high-tech future.

 

In this first episode, Guy charts the history of the war by riding his motorcycle down the famous Ho Chi Minh Trail, visiting a Huey helicopter graveyard at an abandoned American combat base, making his own version of the lethal weapon napalm, and coming face to face with a live cluster bomb left over from the war – which he then helps detonate in a controlled explosion.
