RAVENS: COVERT WAR IN LAOS

While America was fighting in Vietnam, the CIA sent covert paramilitary troops to fight in the skies over Laos. These Special Ops Forward Air Controllers were called the "Ravens." The Ravens operated the same as a FAC (Forward Air Controller) in the scence they provided direction and targeting for air strikes against the communist Pathet Lao and the People's Army of Vietnam infiltrators. This action was taken as a means of supporting the Laotian Hmong guerilla army who were a strong ally of the U.S. forces in Vietnam. Working as a Raven was an exhausting, high-risk, high-stress job. With a casualty rate of wounded and killed running 50%, there was a constant shortage of pilots to fill these positions. If a Raven was shot down (more than 60% had been downed by enemy action) and captured, it meant almost certain death. In this film you follow two ex-Ravens as they return to Laos 30 years later and recall that part of their lives which, still to this day, played an ever-important roll in defining their lives. (Approx. 45min.)
