One of the preeminent works of the Hong Kong New Wave, Boat People is a shattering look at the circumstances that drove hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese refugees to flee their homeIand 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 famiIy, however, he begins to discover what the government doesn’t want him to see: the brutal, often shocking reaIity of Iife in a country where political repression and poverty have forced many to resort to desperate measures in order to survive. Transcending polemic, renowned director Ann Hui takes a deeply humanistic approach to a harrowing and urgent subject with searing contemporary resonance.
