The Search

Overview

The last American GIs left Vietnam in 1975. They left behind them the Amerasians - the children of American soldiers and Vietnamese women. Following the recent US Amerasian Homecoming Act, thousands of these youngsters are expected to arrive in the States in search of their fathers and a new way of life. Three young Amerasians, Sonny Ngygen , Linda Vo and Trang Ngugen , all in their early 20s and all haunted by the question 'Who am I?' have just arrived in the States. Their stories are interweaved with the experiences of American-born children of GIs who died in the war, and set against a backdrop of 1990s
