Between 1975 to 1992, almost two million Vietnamese risked their lives to flee oppression and hardship after the Vietnam War, in one of the largest mass exoduses in modern history. Escaping by boat, many were captured and brutally punished, and hundreds of thousands died along the journey. This population of people are known as the Vietnamese Boat People and these are their stories. The Vietnamese Boat People programs include a podcast project, storytelling events, story slams, conversation kits and journey mapping to preserve and carry forward the stories of the Vietnamese diasporic community. The work of VBP helps to lift up marginalized voices and shine a light on untold stories.
