In Khe Sanh, growing coffee is a major source of income. However, there are terrible dangers hidden in the seemingly peaceful fields - the bombs that the US dropped during the Vietnam war. Since the end of the war, more than 100,000 Vietnamese have been killed or injured by unexploded bombs.During Simon’s trip to the south, they drove into a huge tropical cyclone. The destructive cyclones not only ruin people's homes but also cause injuries and deaths. It is also devastating for coffee farmers.At last, Simon arrived in the central highlands. He visited Nguyen Hu Phuong and got to know the history of the massive migration. In the farm, Simon experienced the entire process from picking coffee to selling it.
