In January 1998, Kartemquin Films traveled to present day Vietnam to document the unfathomable: the uniting of former sworn enemies, groups of American and Vietnamese veterans, for an arduous 16 day, 1,200 mile bicycle expedition through the heart of Vietnam. The Vietnam Challenge bicycling team, composed of persons with and without disabilities, included world-renown athletes Greg LeMond and Diana Nyad. Organized by World T.E.A.M. (The Exceptional Athlete Matters) Sports, the Challenge became a three-week journey of discovery, an opening to the past and present of Vietnam. Produced by Kartemquin Films.
