After the U.S. wars across Southeast Asia, thousands of families were left trying to rebuild their lives. Some of them migrated to Philadelphia seeking refuge and safety. These are their stories.

Join 18MR’s NYC Chapter for a screening of Taking Root, a documentary on the untold stories of Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian refugees who resettled in Philadelphia after the U.S. Wars in Southeast Asia. Taking Root highlights the intergenerational impact of structural violence and demonstrates the power of Southeast Asians in resisting and rebuilding in America.

After the film, we’ll be hosting a panel with Taking Root’s producer Lan Dinh! Donations are encouraged, and all proceeds will go to local immigrant organizations. No one will be turned away for the lack of funds. Join us!
