When the Villagers Left

When the Villagers Left follows a group of Red Dao hill tribe women as they leave their remote village in Northern Vietnam to visit the city of Hanoi. These women have made a choice to learn about tourism and have invested into making their homes into homestays. Their actions are a demonstration of their empowerment as they take control of an industry that is largely run by international companies and the Vietnamese. The trip to Hanoi will be an opportunity to foster critical business relationships with those very companies who are bringing tourists to their village.
The fear of failure and the challenges of culture shock are real as this group of women takes on many things for the very first time.

    Iu Mienh descendants have dated back its migration from America, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and China. It amazes me how we've all assimilated to which country we've settled in. At the end of this video, I couldn't help it, but cry. The chanting has been rooted within our culture no matter which country we live in. It reminded me of my grandmother. She would long for her home country in Laos. She played her little cassette player with chanting all night. It was the last thing I'd hear every night before falling asleep as a kid. To the people who produced this video to the ppl who helped these villagers, you are amazing people and have the biggest heart. Thank you for allowing them to be successful and guiding them.

    Those are my people because of all the wars we separate so much I barely know my own culture. I just know what my great grandmother had told me. This is amazing for me to see. In every country our people are know in different names. Red doa in Vietnam. Yao in china. Iu Mien in the U.S. and laos

    Wow, just watched it for the very first time. I am also an Iu-Mienh (Dao) from Laos. Could you give me a permission to use some footages of this movie in my music video to help you spread the word?

    Although they are considered two different ethnic groups today, Miao-Yao or Hmong-Mien share the same root.
