MUMBAI: All Points of the Compass, a documentary by Judy Rymer centers on the family of Charles Tran Van Lam, a senior political leader who left his country with nothing - not even his citizenship, when Saigon fell in 1975 with the end of Vietnam War. Told by his nine children from their now different locations around the globe, the Trans‘ story provides a unique insight into an eastern diaspora. It reveals the importance of identity in a family flung to all points of the compass.
All Points of the Compass is recommended for its insights into the psychological aspects of cultural choice, culture change, and assimilation. Watch the story of Tran Van Lam and his family from all points of the compass this Saturday, April 3, 2010 at 10:00pm with a repeat telecast on the following Sunday at 5:00pm only on NDTV Profit.
