Inspired by the upcoming 80th anniversary of our nation’s independence and as part of a project focusing on environmental pollution, our crew traveled to Quảng Trị to capture firsthand the scars that past conflicts have left on the natural environment and its people. Working through days of hot weather, I learned how important cooperation is when it comes to achieving shared goals. Through our short documentary, “Wounds and Hope,” we hope to inspire others with the incredible resilience of the people of Quảng Trị as they continue to work to restore their land.

Honored to receive an Honorable Mention – Film Category, Bow Seat Ocean Awareness Contest 2025 (6,300+ entries worldwide).
