And I also completely missed the showing here in DC Metro (somewhere), where it was sold out weeks in advance.
In any case I'm glad it's gaining momentum, and hopefully it will reach a much much wider audience of average Americans.
Unfortunately, most Americans seem completely unaware that there were Vietnamese soldiers and Vietnamese fighters and Vietnamese families in Vietnam. To most, it's all about us. All about America. The film industry and the media are most guilty for that perception, though I think Mel Gibson made one small step in the right direction (right country, wrong side of the war).
Still it is important to convey the truth of what happened after April 1975. It didn't just end because CBS stopped covering it at 6:00PM. My friend from a large Delta town (and was trained for several cumulative years in the US) had three words for what happened next: "Horrible, just horrible." He's still there with his flawless English ("Gee, that's swell."), barred from any kind of work suited to his very impressive skills and background.
And that's also about as much as I've ever gotten from the half-dozen guys from my wife's family who did stints in the camps.
Well I hope they can get this into distribution. It would be a very good thing. And to paraphrase the paraphrase above, "maybe the world will now learn what the Communists Democrats did to Vietnam."

As always, thank you very much for your CLARITY ..angkor.
We’ve been very busy working non-stop for years here to get your Message out there about the horrid consequences suffered by many innocents at the hands of humorless Communist Vietnamese Bullies. Massive suffering brought on after a post-WATERGATE Democrat Congress, led by Sen. TED KENNEDY, cut off all our funding for the Free to fight for their own Freedom with in a then Free South Vietnam.
