Stories of Southeast Asian Refugees

City Hall · 1 Sir Winston Churchill Square, Edmonton, AB

This event includes a film screening, book launch and signing, panel discussion, and an exhibition focused on Vietnamese stories. The program explores the experiences of Southeast Asian refugees, particularly the mass evacuation of Vietnamese people in the late 1970s and early 1980s following the Fall of Saigon and their subsequent resettlement in countries such as Canada. It examines the historical context of these migrations and the ongoing discussions surrounding refugee policies and immigrant contributions in North America.
