Unspoken Stories showcases candid conversations between Chinese-Vietnamese Boat People refugees and their families. At its heart is the belief that for younger generations to carry culture forward, they must first be inspired by the stories of their own families. By encouraging honest and intentional dialogue across generations, we invite viewers to see how embracing personal understandings of their roots can spark pride, belonging, and a deeper connection to both their identities and family histories. The screening will be followed by a discussion with:

• Hollie Ha, Holding Heritage founder and Unspoken Stories creator
• Sandy Ho, Author of “No Way But Through: A Family Memoir”
• Andrew Ha, interviewee from the Unspoken Stories project

Hollie Ha bridges generations by sharing candid conversations and untold stories of Chinese-Vietnamese Boat people refugees and their descendants. Through these meaningful exchanges, the series explores the delicate interplay between heritage, identity, and family dynamics. Watch the trailer here!
