A heartbreaking documentary that alters their expectations of happily ever afters, Daughter from Danang is a fascinating emotional drama of nostalgia, identity and personal legacy of war.
To all outward appearances, Heidi is the proverbial “All-American Girl”, who come from small town Pulaski, Tennessee, but his birth name was Mai Thi Hiep. Born in Danang, Vietnam, in 1968, she is the mestiza daughter of a U.S. soldier and a Vietnamese woman.

Fearing for the safety of his daughter at the end of the war, Hiep’s mother sent him to the U.S. the “Operation Babylift,” a Ford administration plan to move the orphans and children of mixed race to the U.S. for approval before the victim of a terribly uncertain future after the U.S. Vietnam withdrew. Mother and daughter know nothing of each other for 22 years.
