Finding your next obsession
Finding your next obsession
Kieu, loosely translated as "foreign,” is the name given to thousands of refugees and their children who have journeyed “home”. We follow the voices of three Viet-Kieu (Vietnamese living abroad) in Vietnam as they navigate the geographic, linguistic, and economic distance between themselves and their "homeland." The camera too becomes a voice in this cinematic journey, the embodiment of a question, a kinesthetic quest for the meaning of being and belonging.
