Child of Dust

27th TIDF: World Premiere

Sang is one of the thousands of unwanted and marginalized children abandoned by American soldiers after the Vietnam War. At 55, his lifelong dream of finding his father finally comes true, but he must race against time. Before their long-awaited reunion, Sang must confront his own weaknesses, internal conflicts, and the deep scars of war – wounds that have not only shaped his life but have haunted the generations that followed. His journey to the United States forces him to face profound questions about his identity while struggling to bridge the gap between two vastly different worlds and cultures. Reuniting with his father offers a sense of redemption, but not without challenges. Fifty years after the war's end, the wounds remain wide open.
