“After the Fall” is a poignant, funny and provocative look into the lives of “collateral damage” in the years following Việt Nam and the Secret War in Laos…Vietnamese and Hmong civilians, and the generations that follow, who are forced to silently carry the unrelenting horror and scars of war.

Abby, an Asian-American public defender in Los Angeles, is not only single and pregnant, she’s the primary caregiver for her adoptive father — a Vietnam veteran in the late stages of dementia. When she’s assigned to defend a Laotian Hmong man accused of murdering four white hunters, she accepts the help of an enigmatic Vietnamese nurse to care for her father. The case and the nurse push Abby into the world of war and a culture she has ignored most of her life.
