The program, titled “Reboot Your Life: The Art of Turning Your Life Around,” features a filmed interview with Vinh Chung, a Vietnamese immigrant and author of “Where the Wind Leads.” After their empire of rice mills in Vietnam was confiscated by a communist regime, Chung’s family made a risky decision to leave the country in search of a better life.
