Da 5 Bloods is a drama/war film written and directed by Spike Lee. The film sees four African American Vietnam War veterans return several decades later to the country to find their commanding officer’s remains and a bounty of gold and treasure they hid away during their tour of duty. The film chronicles the group traveling through the country and dealing with insurgents as they cross treacherous terrain in search of the past.

And this did not go unnoticed.

And by 1968, 69, this had actually kind of leveled out.
