Search & Destroy

Stenbom Cecilia

'Search & Destroy' is a first person account of experiences as a US marine in the Vietnam War. Filmed at Druridge Bay in the North East of England, a female soldier is on guard on the sand dunes by the sea. A voiceover tells the story. At first the narrator takes a role as third person but as the story unfolds, the narrator is the voice of the soldier, she is talking about her own experiences in the Vietnam War. Are they her own experiences though, or has she just seen one to many dramatizations? The narrator's monologue is a collage of quotes from popular films about the American conflict in Vietnam.
