Made in Vietnam
In MADE IN VIETNAM, Vietnamese immigrant Thi Vo tells his heartbreaking story – of his harrowing refugee flight to Hong Kong, and eventually Calgary in Canada, all by the age of four. Now, as an adult, he assembles a film crew to return to his homeland and track down his father, who was left behind in Vietnam all those years ago. At times breathtaking, at others emotionally staggering, yet always riveting and relatable, Vo tells a story that transcends borders, generations, and cultures, highlighting the concept of home and family – and the places in which we find them.
