Children of the Dust, by Linh Dan Nguyen Phan
Children of the Dust, 19:00
On the night of the 4th of July 1982, ten-year-old Vietnamese refugee Long leaves his hostile foster home with only “I’m hungry” in his English vocabulary. He arrives in Chinatown, where he meets V, a Vietnamese streetwalker who's trying to run away from the same Vietnamese gang with whom he will soon find himself involved. In the backdrop of the fireworks of America’s Independence Day, Long is forced to choose between the criminal brotherhood or the honorable but lonely path that V proposes.
