Ghost Tape #10

Created by the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, Ghost Tape #10 was one of many audio tapes engineered to psychologically intimidate and demoralize the North Vietnamese Army through its depiction of the Buddhist afterlife. By re-examining this weaponization of belief through the context of modern day Vietnamese and Vietnamese-American religious practice, reactions to this artifact of American propaganda lead to discussions of relationships between the living and the dead, and ask what truths, if any, still echo within this recording.
