The Empathizer

"Young overseas-born Vietnamese immigrants are returning to the country their parents fled decades ago. Why?"

Standup comedian Fred Le hears the stories of a diverse range of young overseas-born Vietnamese who made their way back to the land that their parents left following the end of the Vietnam War. The Empathizer explores identity and the impact of trauma among Việt Kiều who grew up a generation removed from tragic events of the past.
