GOOD MOURNING VIETNAM

Good Mourning Vietnam is a poignant documentary that delves into the lives of two women in northern Vietnam who use singing and crying rituals to help the living process grief and confront death. The film examines how personal tragedy and illness challenge their emotional resilience and force them to grapple with mortality. Beyond capturing a unique cultural tradition, it highlights the universal importance of mourning rituals and collective remembrance. As modernity progresses, the documentary poses a critical question: what is lost when societies abandon ancestral practices of honouring the past? A moving exploration of grief, tradition, and human connection.
