# Tiếng Gọi Chiêu Hồi poster, PPB-365: Choose Freedom (Vietnamese, Saigon)

A Vietnamese painted poster in two halves under the headline 'The Chieu Hoi Call' and a large question mark. The left half, in yellow and orange, shows village roofs, a church and a pagoda, farmers with a buffalo and open hands, under 'Choose freedom'. The right half, in black, shows chains and bound hands under 'Cast off Communist slavery'. The tell is a binary frame: freedom is a bare word, and the opposing side is labelled slavery rather than described.
