“A challenging and rewarding work that places Trinh T. Minh-ha as one of the leading American independent filmmakers of the ​’80s.”

New Directors/New Films, New York

One of the best known works by celebrated film artist and theorist Trinh T. Minh-ha, Surname Viet Given Name Nam explores questions of identity, popular memory, and culture through Vietnamese women’s resistance in Vietnam and the United States. The film combines dance, text, folk poetry, and women’s testimony to call into question official histories and the politics of documentary and interview.
