McWilliam Gallery & Studio and Feargal O'Malley, Curator at the University of Ulster, explored a related though distinct area, tracing the story of the Vietnamese boat people who settled in Craigavon, Northern Ireland in 1979.

In preparation for this exhibition, Sloan rekindled his friendship with Ka Fue Lay,[7] who was a teenager when he settled in Craigavon in 1979 and now lives in Salisbury, England.

Sloan made a video[8] in which Ka Fue Lay discusses his life in Vietnam, displays family photographs and fondly recalls his time in Craigavon.

The images document the activities and characters that populated Sloan's daily life; the urban development of his hometown of Craigavon; and the constant and pervasive presence of the political conflict.

Gavin Weston in The Sunday Times describes it when first exhibited in the Old Museum Arts Centre, Belfast:[15] "...a noisy trundling projector surrounded by four large prints at which one strains to peer through the blacked-out gloom.

Staring back in time and this dingy light are the eyes of Adolf Hitler, bolstered by images of the Werner March/ Albert Speer – designed stadium that hosted the Berlin Olympics of 1936.

There is no further direct reference to Jesse Owens, the Führer's gravest embarrassment, but flickering through this laden environment, archive footage of white children allowing a black child to draw the short straw, serves as an indicator".
