Postwar, he was imprisoned in a reeducation camp by the new communist government until his family bribed an official to release him in 1983. He escaped Vietnam in a small boat from My Tho in April of 1983 with 112 people aboard. He describes how he lost hope as multiple ships, including American boats, passed them by and would not rescue them. They were in international waters when they were robbed by Thai pirates. His daughter and other young girls were abducted. On the fourth day, their boat ended up in refugee camps in Malaysia and then they were moved to the Philippines, where he volunteered to translate and represent Indochinese refugees to the broader public. Over thirty years later, he speaks emotionally about his continuing grief at the loss of his daughter and his continuing efforts to locate her.

Father Michael Nam Nguyen describes his experiences living in a Catholic community under communist rule during the aftermath of the Fall of Saigon. His family escaped by boat to a refugee camp in Malaysia before being resettled in the United States. He recalls the culture shock of coming in to a public school system as a teenager and the choice he made to enter the seminary instead of following a career in football. He also describes the destruction to his ethnic community and parish caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and his current work leading a parish as the sole pastor in a mainstream Catholic church. Even so, he is still tied to the Vietnamese community and regularly attends weddings, funerals and holiday celebrations.
