Part cross-country road trip, part romantic comedy,
VIETGONE is an all-American love story about two very new Americans.
It’s 1975.
Saigon has fallen.
He lost his wife.
She lost her fiancé.
But now in a new land, they just might find each other.

The Guardian: “★★★★... A high-energy triumph. ”
The Chicago Sun-Times: “A stimulating story of love finding a way.”
