Trần Văn Thủy

Trần Văn Thủy is a Vietnamese documentary film director, reporter, and writer. He has directed more than twenty documentary films on a wide variety of themes. His work has often been a center of controversy in Vietnam; his 1982 film ''Hanoi In Whose Eyes'', and his 1985 film ''The Story of Kindness'', were both banned for a number of years by the Vietnamese government because each had content that was implicitly critical of the regime. Nonetheless, due in large measure to the success of his work at international film festivals, Thủy was able to continue working for the Government Cinema department as a creator of significant films, including ''A Story From the Corner of the Park'' (1996), and ''The Sound of a Violin at Mỹ Lai'' (1999).
