Between Worlds



Description:

"Between Worlds" is a six year portrait of three Vietnamese Amerasians and their families who arrived in the United States as refugees in 1992. From Vietnam to a refugee camp in the Philippines and on to the final destination in the United States, this film is an extensive and moving portrait of recent immigrants. Born of interracial union, often unaware of their real parentage, carrying the desire to belong from one society to another, they are the often ignored "victims" of the Vietnam war.
