Love Is Forever

Based on true events, Michael Landon portrays real-life journalist John Everingham who, while working in Laos in 1977, is accused of espionage by the repressive Cambodian government. He is tortured and expelled from the Communist-controlled country, but he cannot forget Keo Sirisomphone, the Laotian woman he loves. Everingham contacts scuba instructor Derek McBracken and enlists his aid in a plan to rescue Keo. One year after being ejected from the volatile territory, Everingham attempts a return to Laos by swimming across the Mekong River.
