Hello Anthony,
About us
VIETNAMERICA is a very special documentary movie that tells the story of the Vietnamese boat people’s journey to freedom.
The Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation (VAHF) is pleased to announce the screening of the documentary film VIETNAMERICA at the AMC Theater at Arlington Park Mall at 3816 S. Cooper St. Arlington at 2pm, 5pm, and 7pm on Saturday February 20, 2016. On Sunday February 21, 2016 VIETNAMERICA will be screened at AMC Theater at Firewheel Mall at 100 Coneflower Rd. Garland, at 2 p.m, and 5 pm. Following the screening, there will be a Q & A session with the Producer, the Cast Members, and VAHF’s Members.
VIETNAMERICA was produced by the VAHF and Edwards Media. It is a feature-length documentary that tells the story of the flight for freedom of the Vietnamese American. After the Vietnam War, over 2 million Vietnamese people fled their homeland in search of freedom. Hundreds of thousands died even before reaching their destination. Forty years later, “VIETNAMERICA” follows martial arts Master Hoa Tien Nguyen’s return to Southeast Asia to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Having escaped on a boat with 75 of his family and friends, Hoa is the lone survivor. Throughout his return, Hoa and a diverse group of Vietnamese survivors as well as historical scholars explore the reasons for the Vietnamese diaspora. Today, Vietnamese Americans are the largest political refugee group in the United States”.
Master Nguyen’s story in VIETNAMERICA was submitted to international film festivals as a short 18 minute film titled MASTER HOA’S REQUIEM. To date, it has been selected to 15 film festivals throughout the world. MASTER HOA’S REQUIEM has won five awards, including the Special Jury Remi Award, The Best Texas Production from WorldFest in Houston, Texas, and The Best Texas Production from Dallas International Film Festival. VIETNAMERICA has also been screened in Fountain Vally, California, Houston, Texas, at The Marian Days 2015 in Missouri, Denver, Colorado, The Newseum in Washington DC, Austin, Texas, and New Orleans.
