Influential feminist theorist and filmmaker Trinh T. Minh-ha’s lyrical film essay commemorating the 40th anniversary of the end of the war draws inspiration from ancient legend and from water as a force evoked in every aspect of Vietnamese culture. Minh-ha’s classic Surname Viet Given Name Nam (1989) used no original footage shot in the country; in Forgetting Vietnam images of contemporary life unfold as a dialogue between land and water—the elements that form the term “country”. Fragments of text and song evoke the echoes and traces of a trauma of international proportions. The encounter between the ancient as related to the solid earth\, and the new as related to the liquid changes in a time of rapid globalization\, creates a third space of historical and cultural re-memory—what local inhabitants\, immigrants and veterans remember of yesterday’s stories to comment on today’s events. \n  \n  URL:/studentaffairs/event/forgetting-vietnam/ LOCATION:51 Student Union (UN)\, 2200 East 51.\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53211\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts and Culture,Connect,Film/Screening,Public,Students ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/studentaffairs/wp-content/uploads/sites/184/2026/04/vietnam.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Union Cinema":MAILTO:cinema@uwm.edu X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260507T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260507T130000 DTSTAMP:20260419T013029 CREATED:20260409T200539Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T200539Z UID:10004401-1778151600-1778158800@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Self-Care Celebration DESCRIPTION:End your year with a celebration of self-care!

These were violent\, tragic events\, marked by the death of an elderly black woman\, Joy Gardner and a white policeman\, Keith Blakelock . Handsworth Songs takes as its point of departure these events and the inability of the British media to go beyond its concern with demonising or rationalising the rioters and their motives\, to break the anxiety-driven loop of morbid responses to the presence of black people in Britain.

Akin to a sophisticated home-movie history\, a record of life on the fringes in London between 1965 and 1975\, the film explores the forgotten history of British Black Power through the fictional lives of a group of friends caught up in the metamorphoses of the movement’s central figure; the counter-cultural anti-hero\, activist and charismatic social bandit Michael Abdul Malik . Formerly known as Michael X and christened Michael De Freitas \, he left England in 1970 and was tried and executed for his role in an unsolved murder in Trinidad in 1975. The film nevertheless holds him at a distance\, tracing his career through contemporary TV and radio bulletins which counterpoint and parallel the lives of the group.
