- Interview with screenwriter Sabina Murray
An epic story of hope.
One of the consequences of America's involvement in the Vietnam war was the children of the GI's by their Vietnamese wives and lovers. For years those women who were involved with Americans were social outcasts, treated as collaborators while their children, even when living with grandparents, endured taunts and abuse. This is the story of one such love child, Binh, being forced from his village at 17, going to Saigon to find his mother, then trying to escape to America with his much younger half brother, Tam, in 1990.
The film lingers on the rigours of the voyage: the sampan, the Malaysian detention camps, the illegal refugee ship and the underground economy with near slavery in New York City. It finally opens up when Binh leaves New York for Houston to find his father...
Official Selection at the Berlin and Tribeca film festivals.
