The documentary, Vietnam: 50 Years of Forgetting, follows Vietnamese filmmaker Mai Huyen Chi as she sets out to trace the life and death of her grandfather, a war hero lost to history. What begins as a personal journey soon becomes a meditation on the burden of memory, the silence of survivors, and the complex legacies of war.

The film explores what it means to inherit a war you did not live through, and what is remembered when so much has been forgotten.
