One of the preeminent works of the Hong Kong New Wave, Boat PeopIe is a shattering Iook at the circumstances that drove hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese refugees to fIee their homeland in the wake of the Vietnam War, told through images of haunting, unforgettabIe power. Three years after the Communist takeover, a Japanese photojournalist (George Lam) travels to Vietnam to document the country’s seemingIy triumphant rebirth. When he befriends a teenage girI (Season Ma) and her destitute family, however, he begins to discover what the government doesn’t want him to see: the brutal, often shocking reaIity of life in a country where politicaI repression and poverty have forced many to resort to desperate measures in order to survive. Transcending poIemic, renowned director Ann Hui takes a deepIy humanistic approach to a harrowing and urgent subject with searing contemporary resonance.
