The year 2025 marks 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War, the Secret War in Laos, and the fall of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, in 1975--events that displaced millions from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Seeking refuge in the U.S., these communities rebuilt their lives and, over five decades, have made enduring contributions to American society, embodying resilience, perseverance, and cultural vibrancy. This program features screenings of short films and selected excerpts from longer works, followed by an intergenerational panel discussion with community leaders, filmmakers, and artists.
