Asians in the West: Asian Americans and Vietnam Collection: a four-part film documentary series 1992 – 2007:
American Nurse

Lily Goes Home
“Asian Americans and Vietnam, is a remarkable collection of four documentaries that chronicle the collective memories of Asian American Vietnam Wear veterans during their years in Vietnam and after their return to the United States. Chan has not only chronicled the militarization of race and gender, but has also exposed a previously obscure part of the American war in Vietnam that is important to see and remember.”
