Making our place: selected for the Better Cities Festival
10 September 2020
We are very happy to announce that the short documentary “Making our Place” on women migrants in Hanoi has been selected to be screened at the 2020 edition of the Better Cities Film Festival to be held in Detroit (USA) in mid-October .
This short documentary was produced as part of a research project on youth and public spaces in Hanoi (Vietnam). It explores the reality of young female labour migrants moving from rural to urban areas of Vietnam. It opens a window on these young women’s relationships to Hanoi’s public spaces, on the obstacles they face in trying to use them, and on their aspirations as temporary or permanent denizens. Directors: Tran Thi Kieu Thanh Ha (HealthBridge Vietnam) and Le Cam Nhung (Vietnamese Women Museum).
