Review of Journey From the Fall (2007) by Uyen L — 13 Jun 2018
This is definitely worth watching. It's tough to watch knowing these actually happened to people in Vietnam. After watching this movie, I feel emotional and heart-breaking to these families were left behind after the fall of Saigon.
The movie is about one Vietnamese families as Vietnamese boat people. When south Vietnam fall under the communism(4/30/1975), Long and his family were trying to flee the country as American broke their promises.
The part that sticks out the most to me is when on the boat Lai doesn't know that his father passed away and both Phuong's father and Mai's husband died in the Reeducation camp. Mai remembers happy memories when the family was all together.
As a Vietnamese, I somehow feel for my parents growing up and living through this period of time. Whenever I talk to the Vietnamese elders, those memory still haunt them.
