Description

A group of four Vietnamese women packing food and other belongings in preparation for their resettlement. The resettlement programme was carried out in an attempt to identify and separate the Vietcong from the local population. The artist noted that 'the Vietnamese were very distressed being moved around like that, and the children were bewildered and frightened'.
