Daughter from Danang
In 1975, as the Vietnam War was ending, thousands of orphans and Amerasian children were brought to the United States as part of Operation Babylift. "Daughter from Danang" tells the dramatic story of one of these children, Heidi Bub (a.k.a. Mai Thi Hiep), and her Vietnamese mother, Mai Thi Kim, separated at the war's end and reunited 22 years later.
Come and join us in the showing and discussion of this movie!
We will be showing "Daughter from Danang" on Friday, April 26 from 6 - 8PM at the Asian American Cultural Center.
MIXED is a Student Run Program that caters to students who are interested or identify as being mixed. This includes students who are mixed ethnically, racially, religiously as well as adopted students. However, we want to help ALL students understand that just being them is enough. MIXED programming seeks to enhance students experiences here at UCONN by giving them an avenue to explore their own rich diversity. We provide the tools and support students need to create events, art and lead others.
