In 1968, Peter Hill left his comfortable life at Yale to discover the truth about Vietnam first hand. Assigned as a reporter, Peter ecountered an Australian journalist name Kate White — brilliant, devastatingly beautiful, and tough as nails. Together they inadvertently stumbled upon a covert U.S. operation on the Ho Chi Minh Trail that no one wanted them to divulge. And with the war raging around them, Peter and Kate fell in love despite themselves. But their happiness could not last in a world torn by bombs and hatred.
     Years later, Peter's memories of Vietnam begin to take over as he undergoes therapy. When his therapist unearths a book written by Kate — whom he thought he had seen die on the battlefield — after the war, Peter sets out to find her. Reunited after nearly two decades, Peter and Kate attempt to heal old wounds. But could their love, born of desperation and lonliness in a country ravaged by war, have survived the ineluctable passing of time? Based on a true story, Beneath Buddha's Eyes offers a tender story of love amidst the hell of war and a singular perspective of the Vietnam conflict.
