Finding The Virgo

Vietnamese boat refugee, Lauren Vuong, embarks on a decades long search for the heroic captain and crew of a US cargo ship that rescued her at sea at 7-years old and saved her family and 57 other immigrants from certain death. Capturing the American hope and the American dream, this documentary is a universal tale of war, desperation, survival, and the serendipitous heroes who embody the best of humanity. This is a story needed now more than ever given the current anti-immigrant and anti- refugee rhetoric in the US and globally.
