As the longest POW in Vietnam history, Ernie Brace likely endured more than any other POW during the war. Held for almost eight years, he faced capture, starvation, sickness, torture, solitude and desperation. After three-and-a-half years, Brace was transported from the jungle to the infamous prison in Vietnam dubbed the 'Hanoi Hilton,' and finally heard the voice of another American: Lt. Cmdr. John McCain, a Navy pilot shot down over Hanoi. ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/NatGeoSubscribe ➡ Get more Nat Geo Full Episodes:    • National Geographic Full Episodes   ➡ Get more Nat Geo Wild Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAG2SkTPltw And check out more National Geographic series and specials here: ➡ Disney Plus: https://www.disneyplus.com/ ➡ Hulu: https://www.hulu.com/welcome ➡ NGTV app: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/tv/ ➡ ABC app: https://abc.com/ About Locked Up Abroad: Dream adventures turn into hellish nightmares for the travelers featured in this series, which recounts through first-hand interviews and re-enactments their experiences of being arrested in a foreign country for drug smuggling, and how they coped with the resulting lengthy prison terms. #VietnamPOW #LockedUpAbroad #NationalGeographic Get More National Geographic: Official Site: http://bit.ly/NatGeoOfficialSite Facebook: http://bit.ly/FBNatGeo Twitter: http://bit.ly/NatGeoTwitter Instagram: http://bit.ly/NatGeoInsta TikTok: http://www.tiktok.com/@natgeo Tenor: http://on.natgeo.com/31b3Koc About National Geographic: National Geographic is the world's premium destination for science, exploration, and adventure.
