“If I could wish for anything in the world, it’d be to find out who my father is.”
— Tony Nguyen
1975: In the chaos of the Fall of Saigon, a young Vietnamese woman, unaware she’s pregnant, escapes in a perilously overcrowded boat and, seven months later, finds herself in a small town in the Midwest where she gives birth. She builds a new life, but hides a crucial piece of her past from her son. A Line Becomes A Circle, a new feature-length documentary, tells the story of filmmaker Tony Nguyen’s remarkable quest to find that missing piece, his father.
