OKLAHOMA CITY — A powerful documentary that centers on the lived experiences and overlooked perspectives of South Vietnam and the Vietnamese diaspora will be shown at the Oklahoma History Center on Saturday, November 7, from 1 to 3 p.m.
The “Vietnam War: Untold Stories from the South — Trials, Triumphs, & Tragedies” documentary reexamines the war through the experiences of South Vietnamese civilians, soldiers, political prisoners, refugees and families whose stories have too often been overlooked, distorted, or excluded from mainstream historical narratives. Drawing on extensive research, archival materials and firsthand testimony, the film explores communist land reform, wartime violence, political persecution, media bias, reeducation camps, the refugee exodus and the conflict’s lasting human consequences. Central to the documentary is the historical argument that Hồ Chí Minh and the Vietnamese Communist Party began their campaign to conquer South Vietnam by force years before American combat troops arrived.
The screening is free and open to the public, but museum admission is required to visit the galleries. This film will be shown in conjunction with the “Our Journeys” traveling exhibit, presented by Vietnamese Boat People. This multimedia traveling exhibition will be on display at the Oklahoma History Center Museum through January 4, 2027.
The Oklahoma History Center Museum is located at 800 Nazih Zuhdi Dr. in Oklahoma City. It is open to the public Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please call 405-522-0765 or visit okhistory.org/historycenter for admission costs and group rates.
