The Vietnamese Boat People

Breaking the Silence


Listen Later

Breaking the Silence follows producer Ngoc Bui in an exploration of how Vietnamese families are beginning to confront the trauma passed down through generations—fifty years after the Fall of Saigon. What happens when silence begins to crack open? Sparked by a deeply personal conversation, Ngoc speaks with mental health professionals and diaspora voices to uncover how healing is taking shape—through cultural understanding and intergenerational dialogue, led by younger generations. This episode traces an ongoing journey of healing, connection, and a reimagining of care—beyond the boundaries of Western therapy.
