As the world reflects on the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, filmmaker Jenny Ai Trinh Thai delivers a hauntingly beautiful and deeply moving documentary titled “BOOK OF DEATH” — a cinematic requiem that brings the forgotten pain of a nation back into the collective consciousness of humanity.
“BOOK OF DEATH” is more than a film; it is a tribute, a memorial, and a spiritual call for peace on Earth. Co-produced with 3L TV, supported by notable names like Alan Vo Ford and Dr. Emily Letran, and featuring the participation of contributors such as Thai Ha, Cindy Tuyet Trang Lam, Lynn Nguyen, Kim Anh, Kim Quyen, Jason Nguyen, and many others, the film stands as a collaborative effort to honor history with honesty and compassion.
This four-part docudrama is based on true stories. The emotional depth of the documentary has stirred international audiences, prompting tears and reflection. Even spiritual leaders like Pope Francis and His Holiness the Dalai Lama have extended their blessings to the film and its message. “BOOK OF DEATH” has been recognized with a Humanity Award in Hollywood and another at Cannes, a testament to its global impact.
In May 2025, the film crew will travel to Lubang Island in the Philippines—a site of deep tragedy of many Vietnamese refugees—to place a memorial cross. The global journey of the film will then continue with screenings in Auckland, New Zealand and Bangkok, Thailand, as part of a larger mission to spread a message of Humanity, Faith, and Peace.
Among the cast, actress Tiffany Rothman adds depth to the dramatizations with a moving performance. Her recent appearance on the red carpet has further drawn attention to the documentary’s powerful message and emotional resonance.
