SAN DIEGO—NEW WAVE Screens at the San Diego Asian American Film Festival

SAN DIEGO—Join a screening of the documentary film NEW WAVE at the 25th Annual San Diego Asian American Film Festival.

Filmmaker Elizabeth Ai embarks on a journey to capture the vibrant spirit of a musical phenomenon that electrified Vietnamese American teens in the 1980s: New Wave. What begins as an exploration of the rebellion and freedom within this subculture evolves into a profound narrative of identity, loss, and healing. In Orange County, California, the synth beats and punk/goth aesthetics provided a sanctuary for a generation of youth grappling with the weight of their parents’ unspoken traumas.
