Vang Bong - The Absence of Shadow

Vang Bong - The Absence of Shadow

2012 · 93 min · Documentary

As a child, the poet Thanh Nguyen lost his sight in an American raid. He grew up, married and had a family. When his wife fell ill, he decided to go begging around the country, accompanied by his nine-year-old daughter. Conceived as confession for two voices (father and daughter), torn by shots of absolute clarity, Vang Bong is a journey through darkness.
