Journey from the Fall-
This film was recommended by my Vietnamese students. If you do not know about the reason why we have so many Vietnamese students, this is the best film to watch.
Directed by a Vietnamese-American director and with a predominantly Vietnamese-American cast, this film tells the true stories of Vietnamese refugees who fled their country after the 1975 fall of the South Vietnamese government, those who were forced to stay behind, and those who were sent to “re-education” camps. Further, it tells the story of what happened to a typical family of boat people, and what the family’s experiences were when they arrived in California.
