<br>Donation:<br><br>This year’s VFP delegation has pledged $14,000 to be distributed at the end of the tour for programs and projects that assist disabled and disadvantaged families suffering from the legacies of war – cluster munitions, landmines and other unexploded ordnance, and Agent Orange. We are asking friends in Hanoi to join us with your own donations, to increase the total amount raised and enable us to help more families. <br><br>Your voluntary donation is welcome! <br> <br>Film notes: Prof. Steven Emmanuel and five students from Virginia Wesleyan University produced Making Peace with Viet Nam in 2008. The film documents the lingering wounds of a war that ended nearly four decades ago. The pace of the story is deliberately slow, so viewers have time to reflect on the suffering caused by war – and perhaps to think a little more. <br><br>Steven Emmanuel writes: “The documentary explores
some of the ways that people today are actively working to make peace with that past, to make peace with Vietnam. One of the ways they do this is to engage in various forms of humanitarian work in Vietnam. This work is carried out by non-governmental agencies, public and private foundations, as well as by veterans organizations, religious groups, and by concerned individuals. All work is undertaken in partnership with some Vietnamese agency to organize and implement projects. One of the largest humanitarian programs underway in the country is directed by Dr. Nugyen Viet Nhan, Head of the Department of Medical Genetics and Director of the Office of Genetic Counseling and Disabled Children (OGCDC) at Hue Medical College. While in Vietnam this summer, we collected nearly 30 hours of footage, documenting all the different projects supported by the OGCDC, including interviews with some of its major American sponsors.” <br><br><br>Interviewed in the film
are several Vietnamese and Americans who will be familiar to local residents. <br><br><br>Best Long Documentary, New Beijing International Film Festival (2009)<br>Audience Award, Red Rock Film Festival (2009)<br>Official Selection, NEWFILMMAKERS NYC (2010)<br><br>For further information contact:<br>Chuck Searcy, Vice President, VFP Chapter 160 <br><br>M 0903420769<br>E <a ymailto="mailto:chucksearcy@yahoo.com" href="mailto:chucksearcy@yahoo.com">chucksearcy@yahoo.com</a><br> <br>Chuck Palazzo, Treasurer, VFP Chapter 160 <br><br>M 0907446410<br>E <a ymailto="mailto:chuck_pal@yahoo.com" href="mailto:chuck_pal@yahoo.com">chuck_pal@yahoo.com</a><br> <br><br>And<br><br>Hanoi Cinematheque<br>Tel 3936 2648<br><a ymailto="mailto:info@hanoicinema.org" href="mailto:info@hanoicinema.org">info@hanoicinema.org</a><br><br><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
