Built around questions of identity and popular memory, this flagship film of Postmodernism offers a fresh reading of Vietnamese culture through a view of women’s status and their political history in both Vietnam and the United States. The questions of language, translation, geographical displacement are explored in the portraits and archival footage accompanying the testimonies.
