Xanh

In the kitchen of an Asian fast food restaurant, Duy Em and her father Ba discuss a recent incident in which he was racially discriminated against. Duy Em is eager to know why he didn＇t challenge the racist remarks. Unable to understand his resigned attitude towards the matter, she decides to dig deeper. As her father tells the story of his journey to Germany among the Vietnamese boat people, it becomes clear that his experiences over the last 40 years have shaped his perception of injustice in dramatic and profound ways. "Xanh" is a story about the individual choice of perspective and the different contexts these choices entail, a lone example which nonetheless speaks to all the invisible identities that exist in our midst.
