I can see how the media was on the North Vietnams side. I seen this movie a while back, and decided to watch it again. Senator McCain was in that hell hole. He sacrificed a lot.

Based on actual characters and events, Hanoi Hilton documents the imprisonment of U.S. pilots shot down during the Vietnam war. The heroic struggle of these servicemen under the control of their savage and brutal Vietnamese captors is one of the many unsung battles fought by American servicemen during The Vietnam War.

I really enjoyed the historical parts of the movie that brought to life the stories we heard during the war.
