After volunteering to make costumes for her son’s school theatre production, a returning Digital Histories filmmaker learns that it is never too late to give.


Director's Bio

Tracy Quan-Nichols is ethnically Chinese and born in Vietnam.  Growing up in Da Nang, she lived in a tight Chinese community –attending Chinese school and learning Chinese, Vietnamese, and some English.  Life was great…until the Vietnam War.  Along with her family, Tracy luckily escaped Vietnam by boat.  These days, America is home.  For that reason and more, Tracy feels blessed and grateful.  This is her second film with Digital Histories.
