Controversial Vietnamese film being considered for Oscars
U.S.-based Vietnamese groups call Red Rain propaganda and urge the Academy to reject it, with 92 civil organizations opposing the film’s portrayal of the Vietnam War.
- Before Oct. 1, California Assemblymember Tri Ta asked the Academy to reject `Red Rain`, alleging it is a state-aligned production that misrepresents the 1972 Quang Tri battle.
- Produced by the Vietnamese People's Army Cinematography Unit, the film is described as a state-aligned production that misrepresents the 1972 Battle of Quang Tri Citadel, skewing details of those 81 days, Tri Ta said.
- The Alliance for Vietnam's Democracy led objections, with approximately 92 Vietnamese civil society organizations signing its letter while Vietnamese American community members and Vietnam War veteran Ronnie Guyer expressed deep offense.
- The Academy's rules set an Oct. 1 submission deadline, with preliminary voting scheduled for Dec. 8-12 and a Dec. 16 shortlist, amid warnings recognition could marginalize other perspectives.
- Advancing through the Academy process involves 15 films moving to the next round, from which five become nominees, and all active and life members view submissions before voting.
