Synopsis
Produced by Duy Tan University, “Beyond a War” is the moving documentary portrait of university presidents Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., and Dr. Lê Công Cơ. More than 50 years ago, Dr. Hawkins and Dr. Lê Công Cơ were on opposite sides of the Vietnam War. Hawkins served as platoon leader in the U.S. Marine Corps and Lê Công Cơ fought against American forces as a member of the Viet Cong. Today, they lead Troy University and Duy Tan University, respectively, and are working together to ensure a brighter future for students in both the U.S. and Vietnam. “Beyond a War” captures their personal stories of combat and survival during the war, and their drive to bring about change through the power of education and international collaboration.
