Three months was all it took for Chau Tran to be married, pregnant and bound for a foreign country. After marrying Thanh Duong, Chau migrated from rural Vietnam to suburban Melbourne, driven by her responsibility as a wife and mother. Amidst cultural upheaval, Chau reflects on the importance of family and recounts the difficult journey of leaving everything familiar behind. BETWEEN TWO WORLDS is an emotional 5 minute documentary that shines a light on the complexities of navigating a new country, and highlights the sacrifice and resilience it takes to be a mother.
