From DOCLAB:
You are invited to the screening of “From Hollywood to Hanoi”, a documentary by Tiana Thi Thanh Nga. The fỉlm was released in 1992 and screened at Sundance, Teluride and numerous other international film festivals.

Cinematographer Jamie Maxtone-Graham will be in attendance. For more information, see below:

“From Hollywood to Hanoi chronicles the efforts of the director Tiana Thi Thanh Nga, a Vietnamese-born American actress, who returns to the country of her birth to try and come to grips with her personal history and the history of Vietnam’s recent past. In the course of her many trips between 1988 and 1991 Tiana managed to interview important dignitaries in the unified government of the country, track down relatives and interview survivors of the My Lai massacre. Although she was the daughter of South Vietnamese notables, she doesn’t hesitate to use archival footage showing the brutality of the war the West waged to keep the country divided.”

Languages: In English and Vietnamese with subtitles for both.

The screening is non-profit and aims for studies and research only. Following the screening is a Q&A session.
