✨ CELEBRATE VIETNAMESE WOMEN’S DAY | AN INTIMATE CONVERSATION WITH MADAME XUÂN PHƯỢNG
Some stories are better heard in person.
This Vietnamese Women’s Day, VKNU invites you to an intimate afternoon with Madame Xuân Phượng, a remarkable Vietnamese woman whose life has crossed medicine, journalism, filmmaking, art, and culture.
At 16, she left school to join the resistance. She went on to become a doctor, war correspondent, documentary filmmaker, author, and gallery founder.
Her journey has taken her through many chapters of Vietnam’s history, shaped by courage, curiosity, creativity, and an enduring love for the country.
Now, we have the chance to hear some of those stories directly from her.
