In this free screening intended for seniors (but also free for all other viewers), viewers will be able to watch a diverse selection of short films exploring the range of human emotion in response to current events. Films such as Container and Taste of Home explore the trafficking of Vietnamese people in Europe. In light of "Stop Asian Hate", Granny Boot Camp offers a comedic and inspirational response. Mom and Iris bring viewers back to challenges facing adolescents, this time from a different perspective. Together, these films allow viewers to contend with issues faced by elderly Vietnamese people.

A group of Vietnamese nationals is making their way to an unknown location in a shipping container to find a better life. Mai, a 16-year-old girl, connects with different passengers on the journey to find out why they are risking everything. As they get closer to the promised land, they are met with hunger and desperation that would push them to the limit of human existence.
