Documentary Feature | Director: | Cuong Simon Phan | Format: | Video | Running Time: | 83 | Abandoned by their American fathers and considered second-class citizens of Vietnam, Amerasians have struggled with a fractured sense of identity and community. Many of them have been forced into the fringes of a society that has denied them opportunities for education, employment, and community. This documentary profiles the lives of several Amerasians who were brought to reside in the United States by the Amerasian Homecoming Act of 1991. They represent the living casualties of a war that resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and just as many births to Vietnamese women by American soldiers. | Vietnamese w/E.S. |
