Episode Details

In November 1966, five American soldiers set out on patrol in Vietnam's Central Highlands. Four of them kidnapped and murdered a young Vietnamese woman named Phan Thi Mao. The fifth refused to take part — and then refused to stay quiet. In this episode, we follow Private Robert Storeby as he reported the crime to commanders who looked away, stood up to defense lawyers who called him a liar, and watched the sentences shrink. A story about what courage looks like when the enemy is the silence around you.
