I loved how she successfully acted out the bravery and the fear of her various family members as they made their perilous trips to the unknown. She connected with her audience through the use of humor and anecdote in her story.
What I didn't like
Include in her dialog explanations for the Vietnamese names she is using for her grandparents instead of relying on the explanations provided at the beginning to help her audience follow her story better. Further develop her theme on what made a good community in her conclusion.
My overall impression
Heartfelt, and humorous. Vivi Thai did a great job giving the audience the background and the travel log of how her families escaped Vietnam as the communist regime successfully extended its grip to the southern half of the country on April 30, 1975. Her audience definitely wants to know more of her story. She should develop this 30 minutes teaser into a complete history of the trials and tribulations her families faced and overcame.
