From ""Journey from the Fall" Director Ham Tran:
"How long will we allow Hollywood to tell their versions about the Vietnam war, where Vietnamese people are faceless, nameless background objects instead of three-dimensional living, breathing people whose lives are directly torn by war? In the last 30 years, the world has never known about the millions of Vietnamese who were imprisoned and tortured in "re-education camps," or the millions of other Vietnamese who fled Vietnam by boat, suffering drought, starvation, rape and pillaging by pirates. No American film has ever been made about these struggles and sacrifices, so the question is "Why not?"Most young American, especially the younger generation (born between 80s up to now), have NO idea how the Vietnamese got here. Somehow, they happened to be here for no apparent reason!!! It's a sad history.
