April 30, 1975 marked the end of Vietnam’s two-decade-old civil war and the start of the exodus of hundreds of thousands of refugees. Despite his alliance to the toppled South Vietnamese government, Long Nguyen (as Long Nguyen) decides to remain in Vietnam. Imprisoned in a Communist re-education camp, he urges his family to make the escape by boat without him. His wife Mai (Diem Lien), son Lai (Nguyen Thai Nguyen) and mother Ba Noi (Kieu Chinh) then embark on the
arduous ocean voyage in the hope of reaching the U.S. and freedom.
 
Journey From The Fall premiered as an official selection at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, and went on to win sixteen international awards. Critics called it “powerful and unforgettable” (Todd Schwartz, CBS Radio) and “movingly rendered” (Michael Rechtshaffen, The Hollywood Reporter). Unavailable for over a decade, Whole Grain Pictures is proud to present the first major Vietnam War movie from the refugee perspective.
