"Seven South Vietnamese students fear political reprisal as they face deportation"

At the Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles, reporter Jan Minagawa covers a rally in support of seven exchange students from South Vietnam who are facing deportation. He interviews three of the students who fear for their safety if they return to Vietnam after speaking out against the war and their government while in the United States. They talk about the treatment of political prisoners and the harassment and threats their families have been facing back home. Footage includes shots of the demonstrators and segments with reporter voiceover that lack picture.

Note: The KTLA newsfilm collection at UCLA consists of cut and unedited stories, outtakes and fill footage, originally shot on 16mm reversal film stock with magnetic soundtrack. Some footage, particularly material not used for broadcast, may be without sound.
