Because No One Living Will Listen

Directed by Tuan Andrew Nguyen

Because No One Living Will Listen follows Habiba, a Vietnamese woman whose father was a Moroccan soldier who defected from the French army. The film is based around a speculative letter written by Habiba to her father—who died when she was a baby—as a way to speak to him in his absence. Because No One Living Will Listen centers on Moroccan soldiers who defected from the colonial army and whose repatriation to Morocco was hindered by the outbreak of the Vietnam War.
