JOURNEY FROM THE FALL follows two journeys beginning at the end of Vietnam’s civil war. On the day Saigon falls, Long Nguyen and his wife, Mai, part ways. Long is captured and sent to a series of re-education camps. Meanwhile, Mai boards a fishing boat with her mother-in-law and son. Hoping to reach America, they face a dangerous sea journey. Years later, when Long receives a letter from them, he escapes. And his journey begins.
JOURNEY FROM THE FALL is dedicated to the millions of survivors of the communist re-education camps. This is their story.
Born in Saigon, Ham Tran immigrated to America with his parents through the Orderly Departure Program in 1982. His exploration in playwriting, prose, poetry, music, painting, film and video became a journey to assemble new and lost history and culture.
Ham tran recently graduated from UCLA with a Master of Fine Arts degree in Film and Television, where his short films have won numerous accolades including the title of National Finalist for the Student Academy Awards for two years consecutively. Tran’s thesis film, THE ANNIVERSARY, won the prestigious USA Film Festival Awards for Best Live Action Short.
