    Compelling and poignant

    by steepturn

    This most compelling and poignant story is of a family who were divided and struggled through the ravages of war. What?s so interesting is as I spoke to other refugees around the world (from WWII to the conflicts in Africa), this story could have been retold a million times by changing the location and the time period of the war. This story is not just about the Vietnamese people but it?s really for all of us who have suffered the devastation of losing and surviving war.

    Vietnamese in the US - no matter the immigration period - will find storylines here that parrallel events recounted by their parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents... A group of 25+ from our church watched it and shared dinner & discussion afterwards. My father expressed details about the boat that we escaped on - details that i have never heard or recall. This film inpires storytelling... for that, i thank all the people who made it. - khiet, Philadelphia, PA.

    Something we all can relate to

    by lnguye5

    Journey From The Fall is a story that touches all Vietnamese Americans. It's something we all can relate to and it tells the story of the great struggle of the Vietnamese on their journey to find freedom. The movie itself does need some editing, the acting was better than I anticipated, overall it was a good job by Ham Tran and his crew. I got a bit confused because the movie kept switching to different part in time and I didn't understand what was happening at certain time. But I would recommend everyone to go see this movie if you want to learn how the Vietnamese American got here to the U.S.A.
