Dust of Life

Directed by Le Van Kiet

There is a saying... For kids like us... Dust of Life... Bui Doi

Since 1975 millions of Vietnamese boat people have fled for freedom. By 1993 more than half who survived the exodus resided in California. The film portrays the coming of age story of abandoned kids growing up in the new Vietnamese enclave of Orange County, California in the early 1990s, based on true events.
