Ces gens du pays…

Mention honorable – Los Angeles Diversity Film Festival 2018 My Thu is a Vietnamese immigrant who fled her country during the war. After a life of struggle, she is now facing an imminent eviction. Trapped in a gentrification battle and unable to speak her mind in another language, she needs her daughter’s help. As a young woman director, I am very interested by human causes, human feelings and social issues. I was a volunteer at Red Cross and in a children’s hospital; it was an important moment in my artistic life. I graduated in editing studies in France, then I moved in Canada, to have more work opportunities. Now I manage my time to create short movies, and translate stories into pictures and feeling into sound.
