The story

What Is Starting Place About?

The premise of Starting Place without spoilers.

In this late‑career documentary, Kramer returns to Hanoi after nearly 25 years, seeking to reinterpret the city’s struggle through a fraught past, present and future. He meets Vietnamese figures: his former 1969 guide, a national‑circus tight‑rope walker, a photographer of B‑52 bombers, and a man who lost his fingers trying to shoot them down.
