The Empathizer

The Empathizer

USA

Young overseas-born Vietnamese immigrants are returning in waves to the country their parents fled. A stand-up comic heads to the motherland to learn why. Screening 50 years after the end of the Fall of Saigon, The Empathizer is a uniquely candid exploration of the effects of wartime trauma on a generation that wasn't around to experience it. Directed by Fred Le. 59 minutes.
