Rise (2014)
A rags to riches story of unusual circumstance. ‘Huong Ga – Rise’ is the story of Dieu. Chronicling the highs and lows of Vietnam’s most notorious female gangsters| this is a woman’s journey as she breaks the glass ceiling in a man’s word| albeit| a much darker and dangerous existence. Shaded by the influence and lessons of the men in her life: Nhan her childhood sweetheart| her great unrequited love; Hung fifty shades of empty but a great physical attraction; Tung the man of her dreams| husband| lover and friend; and Tan – the gentle man who promises a simpler life. Each of the men in her life contribute to Dieu’s great success (and failures) as she climbs to the top of Vietnam’s gangster underworld.
