The Fisher People

The Fisher People

Vietnamese refugees fled war in the 1970s and settled along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, turning to shrimp and crab fishing despite language barriers, economic hardship and threats of violence and segregation. Trace their journey from chaotic evacuation and temporary refugee camps to building lasting communities in the U.S.
