In 1969, Robert Kramer travels to North Vietnam. Out of this trip came his film, People’s War. In 1992, he returns to run a film workshop in Hanoi. Starting Place is the result of a reflection on the past, a reunion with the interpreter and cameraman he worked with in 1969, and meetings with Vietnamese people he knew back then.
