While the Vietnam War raged publicly, the CIA waged a covert operation in Laos, training an army of allied guerrilla fighters—many from the Hmong ethnic group—at the secret Long Tieng airbase to disrupt enemy supply lines. *America's Secret War* uncovers this hidden history through Hmong survivor testimonies and recently declassified CIA documents. Renowned figures like Dr. Yang Dao and Special Guerrilla Unit soldiers recount life in wartime Laos, the perilous escape from Pathet Lao forces after the war, and their harrowing journeys through Thai refugee camps before ultimately reaching the United States.
The film underscores that the Secret War—officially unacknowledged by the CIA until 1994—was and remains an integral part of the Vietnam War’s history. Despite now being U.S. citizens, Hmong veterans of the Secret War do not qualify for veterans' medical benefits and are not permitted to be buried in U.S. veterans' cemeteries.
