The Beautiful Country

"Less than dust" is a term used to refer to Vietnamese children with American fathers. Binh (Damien Nguyen) is one such lad. Hard circumstances forces him to flee Vietnam and head towards the land of his dreams... America. But sometimes your dreams are camouflaged nightmares. Showing yet another after effect of the Vietnamese war, the film deftly portrays the hardship and inhuman conditions the illegal refugees endure to get to the land of their dreams. The acting of Nguyen and Nick Nolte in a fine bit role augment this film beautifully.
