In 1975, as the Vietnam War was ending, thousands of orphans and Amerasian children were brought to the United States as part of "Operation Babylift." Daughter from Danang tells the dramatic story of one of these children, Heidi Bub (a.k.a. Mai Thi Hiep), and her Vietnamese mother, Mai Thi Kim, separated at the war's end and reunited 22 years later. Heidi, now living in Tennessee - a married woman with kids - had always dreamt of a joyful reunion. When she ventures to Vietnam to meet her mother, she unknowingly embarks on an emotional pilgrimage that spans decades and distance. Unlike most reunion stories that climax with a cliché happy ending, Daughter from Danang is a real-life drama. Journeying from the Vietnam War to Pulaski, Tennessee and back to Vietnam, Daughter from Danang tensely unfolds as cultural differences and the years of separation take their toll in a riveting film about longing and the personal legacy of war.

及格米@@@2019-03-13@@@0@@@看见了美国的年轻人有多不适应亚洲的家庭生活。以前带Jenna回老家玩，长辈们的热情让她很厌恶，那时候我在旁边看着不知所措。和巴布回到越南生母的家庭时一模一样。
潋 | Béatrice@@@2012-11-28@@@0@@@看过的讲述海外亚裔群体的纪录片中最感人的作品之一。影片结尾处，越战后被美国家庭收养的女儿回越南寻亲，却因为无法妥善处理文化隔阂和文化差异，最后激化成剧烈冲突，只能分离收场。急转直下的故事，跟之前的温馨美好形成强烈反差，整个片子非常具有张力。

天真的女主人公Hiep满心欢喜踏上寻根之旅。坐上去越南的飞机前，从她紧张地挑选衣服，捣鼓发型，在飞机上向邻座学习越南语的问好，可以看出她还是十分重视这次的重逢。 只是Hiep对生母的感情也许并不及生母对她的十分之一。生母的感情里夹杂了后悔，怜爱，和二十多年的思念。所... (展开)@@@https://movie.douban.com/review/7674425/@@@https://img3.doubanio.com/icon/u138301033-13.jpg
