Synopsis

Our history can continue to affect our present in ways that we don't realize. The Boat People is the story of a family, separated by war and reunited in a new country. Having made the arduous journey from Vietnam to Canada alone, Tuan works hard so that his wife and young daughter can immigrate to Canada to start a new life together. Though he eventually succeeds, Tuan is plagued by memories and demons from his past, becoming increasingly distant from his wife and teenage daughters in the present. It is through his second daughter, Canadian-born Amy, that the layers of silence in the family begin to unravel. Can discovering her father's past help Amy to build a better relationship with him, or even to just build a better relationship with herself?
