Ripples of Wartime - My-Van Tran
Description
Interview with My-Van Tran, South Vietnamese Australian.
This is one of a series of short videos presenting some diverse perspectives on impacts of the Vietnam War. Collectively titled Ripples of Wartime, the videos were commissioned by Brink Theatre Company in Adelaide and initially presented in association with a play about the battle of Long Tan.
MY-VAN TRAN, SOUTH VIETNAMESE AUSTRALIAN
My-Van Tran grew up in middle-class Saigon family and then left South Vietnam when she won scholarships to study overseas, first in the United States and then in Australia. Living in Canberra in 1975, she was separated from all of her family when Saigon finally fell to communist North Vietnamese forces. Exiled from a country that, in a real sense, no longer exists, My-Van supported many family members to join her in Australia. She continues to help other members of her extended family still living in Vietnam today.
