We learn about the pain and hardship experienced by the older Vietnamese on their journey to come to America and build livelihoods for their children and grandchildren. At the same time, we see a growing movement of American-born youth come to support – and lead – their parents and grandparents in a struggle for recognition and acceptance. This is a story that bridges oceans and generations alike. The film is not designed to preach, but to inspire: to share a unique slice of the American story with a wide audience. As we watched, we came to feel, appreciate, and empathize with Versailles’ heartbreak – and triumph. This film is not a recollection of events past, but a celebration of a living, breathing community. It is a celebration of togetherness and action, of people reaching out and supporting each other. To anyone who has ever experienced hardship in their lives, to anyone who has ever taken up a hopeless cause, to all those who rally for justice in the face of indifference: this is a film you cannot afford to miss. Check out the official site for information on film screenings and the details on how you can purchase the DVD.
