TRAILER
In 1980, a South Vietnamese soldier, with his wife and their young son, made the life-and-death decision to escape from war-torn Vietnam. Though it cost them everything at the time, the legacy has been one of freedom, opportunity and spiritual rebirth.
But now everything gained seems to hang in the balance, as the long shadows of manipulation, propaganda and authoritarian control stretch across their new beautiful homeland of Australia.
“An inspirational and heart-rending story with an incredibly important message for all”
