The Versatile Directing of Versailles

By: Emmett Lynch Is it possible from a small Vietnamese point-of-view film to relate to Americans on all levels of morality? If you’re wondering the answer to this question, it results with a heartwarming smile and two thumbs up. A Village Called Versailles indulges into the tragedies and aftermath of hurricane katrina, but from a much more overlooked standpoint. There are many different ways that this type of documentary can be made, and I feel that S. Leo Chang created a great body of work. The tragedy of Hurricane Katrina left hundreds and thousands of Americans left with nothing. For many, this is the first time some families have experienced a such tragedy where you lost everything and had to move on. That is not the case for the citizens of Versailles.
