Doan reflects on the significance of April 30th, 1975, this historic milestone and how it has influenced her work and perspective as a filmmaker.
Join us for a conversation with Đoan Hoàng Curtis as we explore her artistic vision and the power of storytelling from a Vietnamese American perspective.
