Description
Interview with Trung Nghia Ton, child of Vietnamese migrant parents.

Original caption from production:
TRUNG NGHIA TON, AUSTRALIAN OF VIETNAMESE DESCENT
Trung Nghia Ton was born in Australia to parents who fled Vietnam after the war. His family has roots in various parts of Vietnam, although older members of his family now living in Australia have a keen sense of having ‘lost their country’. Trung knows the Vietnam War from a distance, through stories told within his family and also through his own studies, often from an Australian military perspective. Trung works as a medical doctor and is also a member of the Australian Army Reserve.
