Mai's America is an intimate portrait of Mai, a
spunky, mini-skirted daughter of Ho Chi Minh’s revolution who leaves
cosmopolitan Hanoi on a high school exchange program.
Anticipating Hollywood, Mai crash lands in rural Mississippi…where her
relationships with white Pentecostal and black Baptist host families,
self-proclaimed rednecks, transvestites, and South Vietnamese immigrants
challenge her long-held ideas about herself, about freedom, about America, and
even about Vietnam.
Mai's America aired nationally August
6, 2002 on P.O.V.
PBS' award winning non-fiction showcase.
