About

The Endless Sea Synopsis

The poignant story of one family's perilous journey from Vietnam to the UK.
On the first day, we ate rice cakes.
On the second day, they were all gone.
On the third day, the water ran out.
On the fourth day, we reached the sea…

The Endless Sea is the timely true story of Chi Thai’s childhood as a refugee at the end of the Vietnam war and her settling in the UK. The book is illustrated by Vietnamese born artist Linh Dao.

The Endless Sea tells the true story of Chi and her family’s perilous flight from South Vietnam in an overcrowded boat when Chi was an infant. After hours adrift, where lives were lost, they were finally rescued. When they came to the UK they settled in Staffordshire. This traumatic journey has inspired much of Chi’s creative work including her film, Lullaby, which was recently awarded Best Short Film at the Asian World Film Festival. The Endless Sea is a deeply personal account, rooted in important history – and yet, the story resonates with many families all over the world today, forced to make perilous journeys of their own.

Told from the perspective of Chi’s four-year-old self, this is a moving story of resilience, beautifully and sensitively illustrated by artist Linh Dao. It is also a story of love and the hope for a better collective future.
