Vietnamese Film , "The Rebel," April 8

Wed., April 8

The Rebel takes place in French-occupied Vietnam in 1922—when French arrogance is at its most extreme and impoverished rebels run wild trying to win back their land through sabotage, civil disobedience, and assassinations. A fast-paced action flick that brings Vietnam’s martial arts to the world stage. A must see.
