In 2002, Don Duong came under fire for his role as Viet Minh general Nguyễn Hữu An in Mel Gibson's "We are Soldiers": the film was critically panned by the local public and authorities alike, who denounced it as "historical denialism" and Don Duong's portrayal as "tarnishing the image of the Vietnamese Army". Unable to deal with the increasing hostilities, the actor had to emigrate to America, and lived there until his death in 2011.
