Official Selection, 2006 Sundance Film Festival
Grand Jury Prize, 2006 San Diego Asian Film Festival

Based on the collective memories of refugees who experienced the fall of Saigon and its aftermath, JOURNEY FROM THE FALL follows the 20-year story of a family separated: a wife, son, and mother sent off on a boat, and a husband left behind to survive a Communist re-education camp. A rare epic of Asian American cinema, Ham Tran’s film bridges Vietnam and the United States with a sweeping sense of history and culture, and more impressively, with the bottled emotions of a generation displaced. –Brian Hu
