Synopsis - A filmmaker on a mission to excavate an untold story of rebellious teens in the electrifying world of 80s Viet new wave in Orange County, California, unexpectedly confronts buried traumas that lead to forgiveness and a new beginning.
"NEW WAVE is a stunning film that captures, with incredible nuance, poignancy, and a fair share of razor sharp wit, a community of first-generation Vietnamese American youth in the 1980s who found solidarity through a shared love of Euro-synth dance music and punk/goth aesthetics. Beneath the music, however, lies a deeper story of intergenerational trauma, the lasting impact of the Vietnam War, and the resilience and possibility of reinvention.β - Sky Sitney, Co-Founder, Festival Director, DC/DOX
