Video Clips Về bà Khúc Minh Thơ



Khúc Minh Thơ Oral History


Vietnamese-language interview with Khuc Minh Tho, President of the FVPPA (Families of Vietnamese Political Prisoners Association), and board member of The Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation. She recalled how Vietnamese American organizations petitioned the Vietnamese Communist government to free all political prisoners after the war to allow them to settle in US. The request was denied and the new Vietnamese government claimed that "there were no political prisoners in Vietnam." Since then, she has organized in an attempt to free the remaining prisoners of war and has been deeply involved community organizing.
This interview is part of the Vietnamese in the Diaspora Digital Archive. http://vietdiasporastories.omeka.net Interviews were conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation as part of the national 500 Oral Histories Project. The interviewee has granted The Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation copyright of the audio, video and photo materials and it is being made available for non-profit educational use.
Additionally, this interview was recorded in the process of producing VIETNAMERICA, a feature-length film and follow-up to the short documentary, Master Hoa's Requiem. Not all interview materials were included in the final film. The film follows Master Hoa back to Southeast Asia to search for the graves of his wife and two children.
