She was working at an American military base where she met Heidi's father, an American serviceman. When the North Vietnamese army came closer to Danang, Mai Thi Kim feared for Heidi's safety due to rumors of retaliation against mixed-race children. At the age of six, Heidi was sent to United States and placed in an orphanage run by the Holt Adoption Agency.
, 1h OrigineRoyaume-uni GenresDocumentaire ThèmesLa famille, Religion, Documentaire sur une personnalité, Documentaire sur la religion ActeursLouis Theroux Note74% Theroux returned to Topeka after four years, to investigate the departure of several members of the Phelps family since his last visit. His return was prompted by an email he received from a young member of the church he had interviewed previously, who had since left and been disfellowshipped. The US Supreme Court case of Snyder v. Phelps, heard following the suing of Westboro Baptist Church for distress caused by the picketing of the funeral of a US Marine killed in Iraq, formed the background to the new film. Theroux was interested in the ambivalent attitude of church members towards his first film, and stated that "the new documentary feels quite different than the original – though still funny, a little darker and stranger".
, 1h34 Réalisé parNina Kusturica GenresDocumentaire ThèmesL'immigration, Documentaire sur le droit, Documentaire sur une personnalité Note66% The protagonists are teenagers who undertake a very dangerous journey on their own, fleeing from various crisis regions of the world to Europe. Nina Kusturica conveys a complex picture of the hopes and dreams of adolescent refugees who after their getaway have to face the partly absurd and inhuman bureaucratic system of the European countries. The teenagers Juma, Hishame, Ahmed, Nura, Achmad, Asha, Jawid, and Alem deliver bit by bit insight into their situation and why leaving their home country and their families ultimately was their last resort. Beyond that, the director gives the audience a look behind the scenes, i.e. through the lenses of thermographic cameras belonging to the border police keeping track of clueless refugees, and she accompanies the teenagers to appointments with government agencies.
Hichem rêvait de « harga » depuis tout petit. Un jour, il a pris la mer vers l'Europe, il a tenté le grand voyage interdit, sur un bateau de fortune avec 27 concitoyens, dont certains étaient des amis ; seul Hichem est revenu. D'autres Tunisiens racontent, de leur côté, pourquoi ils ont voulu ou voudraient quitter le pays : la misère, le chômage, l'impossibilité de se projeter dans l'avenir, l'impasse dans laquelle ils se trouvent.
