Letters from Vietnam – Turning History into Living Art

30 years after the death of her father, Jacqueline finally got to know him by reading the hundreds of letters and audiotapes he had sent to her and her mother from Vietnam. In an effort to document them, Jacqueline made her own journey to Vietnam and wrote her father a series of letters. This became the basis for her book, Letters from Vietnam: A Daughter’s Search for her Father. The popularity of the book garnered attention from Hollywood, which made her take a second journey with a screenwriter. Jacqueline wrote a second book and a documentary about the pointlessness of war, reconciliation and forgiveness. We will watch the eight-time award winning documentary.

Jacqueline Lundquist: BA in Rhetoric and Communication from University of Virginia.
