Story
In the 70s and 80s, thousands of Hmong families made the journey from the war-torn jungles of Laos to the overcrowded refugee camps of Thailand and onward to the United States, all in search of a new place to call home. Decades later, their experiences remain largely unknown. Kao Kalia Yang was driven to tell her own family's story after her grandmother’s death. The Latehomecomer is a tribute to that grandmother, a remarkable woman whose spirit held her family together.

Story
The experience of the Vietnam War is almost impossible to grasp - the fear, smell, pain, and camaraderie. Boys were turned into men, men were transformed into soldiers, and then from soldiers to warriors. These warriors had wives who shared in their transformations. Some marriages were strengthened, while for others men and their families were left emotionally and spiritually battered. Focusing in on a singular company’s experience of war and its eventual homecoming, Andrew Wiest discusses the shared experience of combat and both the darkness and resiliency of war’s aftermath.

Story
In the wake of her mother's death, Jessica Pearce Rotondi uncovers boxes of letters, declassified CIA reports, and newspaper clippings that bring to light a family ghost: her uncle Jack, who disappeared during the CIA-led "Secret War" in Laos in 1972. The letters lead her across Southeast Asia in search of the truth that has eluded her family for decades. On the night of March 29, 1972, Jack's plane vanishes over the mountains bordering Vietnam. The crash eerily echoes the one Jack's father, Ed Pearce, survived in World War II, when Ed parachuted out of the plane before being captured.

Story
Sie ist dreißig Jahre alt und heißt Kiều, so wie das Mädchen im berühmtesten Werk der vietnamesischen Literatur. Doch sie nennt sich lieber Kim, weil das einfacher ist für ihre Freunde in Berlin. 1968 waren ihre Eltern aus Vietnam nach Deutschland gekommen. Für das, was sie zurückgelassen haben, hat sich die Journalistin nie interessiert. Im Gegenteil: Oft hat sie sich eine Familie gewünscht, die nicht erst deutsch werden muss, sondern es einfach schon ist. Bis zu jener Facebook-Nachricht. Sie stammt von ihrem Onkel, der seit seiner Flucht in Kalifornien lebt.
