"Between Two Worlds" Documentary Film Screening

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War (1975-2015), America’s storyteller, Think^TV—Greater Dayton Public Television, and Wright State University’s Asian and Native American Center partnered to produce a 30-minute documentary entitled “Between Two Worlds: Dayton’s Vietnamese- Americans Community.”  This documentary, the first-of-its-kind, features the remarkable stories of Vietnamese Americans who made the painful decision to leave their homeland in search of freedom after the fall of Saigon in 1975.  From the ashes of war, their stories tell how they overcame severe challenges uring their early days in America, the new lives they have courageously built after 40 years, and the contributions they have made to America, their second homeland.  Even though this documentary tells stories of Vietnamese Americans in Dayton, Ohio, their stories exemplify untold stories of other Vietnamese Americans in small or big cities around the nation.
