Over the period of 25 years the director met General VĂ” NguyĂȘn GiĂĄp, a legendary hero of Vietnamâs independence wars, a number of times. She was the first American who entered the home of the âRed Napoleonâ. The fruit of this friendship is a film, personal and politically involved at the same time. Travelling across the country and talking to important figures as well as ordinary people, the director finds out more about her roots and offers the audience a unique perspective on Vietnamâs present and past.
