About New Wave Documentary
Mile-high hair. Synthesized music. Underground parties. Director Elizabeth Ai was on a mission to excavate an untold story of rebellious punks in the chaotic world of 80s Vietnamese new wave until she rediscovered a hidden past.

Fresh from its emotional, award-winning debut at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival, New Wave Documentary returns to New York City by popular demand this October.

Experience four special screenings of this powerful documentary, with proceeds benefiting Mekong NYC, a non-profit dedicated to uplifting the Southeast Asian community in the Bronx and across New York City through art, culture, and community-driven activism.

Don’t miss this chance to support a cause that ties directly to the film’s subject matter and community, while diving into their untold tales that will resonate with your heart and soul.

Support Mekong NYC
Funds raised from these screenings will be used towards the remaining 30% of funds needed for Mekong NYC to acquire a Bronx property that will serve as an intergenerational community and cultural center, and non-profit headquarters where Mekong will host vocational training sessions, educational events and seminars for the Southeast Asian community. We thank you for your support of Mekong NYC’s mission to empower Southeast Asians in New York City through community organizing, healing arts, and culture.
