Operation Babylift
In 1975, 2500+ Vietnamese orphans were airlifted out of Vietnam to find homes in the United States. Although it started as a humanitarian effort by the U.S., the operation was controversial and mired by lawsuits. What happened to those children is a story lost in the chaos of the war. In a new documentary, Operation Babylift: The Lost Children of Vietnam, those stories are finally told through the eyes of the adoptees themselves. I’ve included the trailer and link below:
