I think about this too often. But it also makes me determined to have a voice and tell the stories of our communities. We exist and our stories matter.

10/10. This needs to be a part of your holiday rotation.
I love films about found family and character development through learning about different perspectives via time spent together, real human interaction, and realisations, etc. This was so wholesome and bittersweet and had depth. The flavour!

Stills from my upcoming feature doc - an ethnic Chinese woman’s return to Đà Nẵng, Vietnam, 45 years after the American War. A contemplative journey into a multi-generational diaspora story: first displaced by the Chinese Civil War, then by the War in Vietnam - memory - and the fragility of home.

Last month in London.
As a Vietnamese filmmaker it meant a lot to be a part of this story, the film brings attention to voices and experiences that have historically been marginalized in narratives about the Vietnam War.
