JOURNEY FROM THE FALL follows two journeys beginning at the end of Vietnam’s civil war. On the day Saigon falls, Long Nguyen and his wife, Mai, part ways. Long is captured and sent to a series of re-education camps. Meanwhile, Mai boards a fishing boat with her mother-in-law and son. Hoping to reach America, they face a dangerous sea journey. Years later, when Long receives a letter from them, he escapes. And his journey begins.
JOURNEY FROM THE FALL is dedicated to the millions of survivors of the communist re-education camps. This is their story.
