Deze podcast vertelt verhalen van hoop, overleving en veerkracht. Tussen 1975 en 1992 waagden bijna twee miljoen Vietnamezen hun leven om aan onderdrukking en ontberingen te ontsnappen na de Vietnamoorlog, in een van de grootste massale uittochten in de moderne geschiedenis. Velen ontvluchtten per boot en vonden vrijheid in vreemd land, velen werden gevangengenomen en brutaal gestraft, en velen overleefden de reis niet. Deze groep mensen staat bekend als de ‘Vietnamese Bootvluchtelingen’ en dit zijn hun verhalen.
The Vietnamese Boat People podcast is stories of hope, survival and resilience. Between 1975 to 1992, almost two million Vietnamese risked their lives to flee oppression and hardship after the Vietnam War, in one of the largest mass exoduses in modern history. Escaping by boat, many found freedom in foreign land, many were captured and brutally punished, and many did not survive the journey. This population of people are known as the ‘Vietnamese Boat People‘ and these are their stories.

Breaking the Silence follows producer Ngoc Bui in an exploration of how Vietnamese families are beginning to confront the trauma passed down through generations—fifty years after the Fall of Saigon. What happens when silence begins to crack open? Sparked by a deeply personal conversation, Ngoc speaks with mental health professionals and diaspora voices to uncover how healing is taking shape—through cultural understanding and intergenerational dialogue, led by younger generations. This episode traces an ongoing journey of healing, connection, and a reimagining of care—beyond the boundaries of Western therapy.
