VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE

stories of hope, survival and resilience

Between 1975 to 1992, almost two million Vietnamese risked their lives to flee oppression and hardship after the Vietnam War, in one of the largest mass exoduses in modern history. Escaping by boat, many found freedom in foreign land, many were captured and brutally punished, and many did not survive the journey. This population of people are known as the ‘Vietnamese Boat People' and these are their stories.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"The podcast was so brilliantly produced... I cannot thank you enough. My dad has always talked about it to me and my brothers but listening to it in that style, it was an amazing experience."

Share Your Story

Our organization is dedicated to working with individuals and families to tell their stories. We especially encourage younger generations to inquire and have a dialogue with their elders to learn more about their origin and history. And we hope older generations will take the opportunity to share. We have developed a family Conversation Starter Kit to help. Try It.
