You think?


A Vietnamese documentary film, Cha, con va nguoi linh (The father, the son and the soldier), won the award for best film at the 10th International Film Festival in Pyongyang, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

The film tells the story of a war veteran’s family in northern province Thai Binh, with three generations suffering from Agent Orange. The film director, Minh Chuyen, said that the film impressed judges at the festival as well as local audiences. Many people were in tears while watching it.

Anyway, Noodlepie [http://noodlepie.typepad.com/blog/], where I got this story from, mentioned «that the VietnamNet website helpfully adds the following caption to the photo above, "Director Minh Chuyen (second from the left) at the festival." Not sure I would have spotted him without that». Teh Funny....
