As communism tightened its grip on what was once South Vietnam, a stream of refugees poured into America. This program presents interviews with Vietnamese Americans and archival footage to reveal the fortitude of the Vietnamese who faced great hardships in their escape to the U.S. following the fall of Saigon. In addition, South Vietnamese and American veterans give their firsthand views on the Vietnam War, exploring the factors that led to the elimination of U.S. military and financial support and polarization of public opinion both in the U.S. and Vietnam.
