Daughter from Danang
A heartbreaking documentary that upsets your expectations of happily-ever-afters, Daughter from Danang is a riveting
emotional drama of longing, identity, and the personal legacy of war.
Mai's America is an intimate portrait of Mai, a spunky, mini-skirted
daughter of Ho Chi Minh’s revolution who leaves cosmopolitan Hanoi on a
high school exchange program. Anticipating Hollywood, Mai crash lands
in rural Mississippi…where her relationships with white Pentecostal
and black Baptist host families, self-proclaimed rednecks, transvestites, and South Vietnamese immigrants challenge her long-held
ideas about herself, about freedom, about America, and even about Vietnam.
