Acclaimed at the 1992 Telluride Film Festival, FROM HOLLYWOOD TO HANOI is Tiana Thi Thanh Nga's bold documentary tracing the filmmaker's emotional return to her Vietnamese homeland. Uprooted since 1996, Tiana eventually settled in California, landing leading roles in Hollywood films. In 1988, over her family's objections, she decided to journey to Vietnam and rediscover her heritage. Since then, she made twelve trips over five years, and filmed over seventy hours of footage with a Vietnamese crew she and her cameraman trained.
