The Price of Dreams, 19min., Canada
Directed by Diễm Hà Lệ
At just 15, Ngân longs to study and sing—but in northwest Vietnam, where child marriage and dowries still dictate futures, her life has already been planned. Her dowry—coins worth $400 CAD, a bottle of rice wine, and a kilo of pork—has already been paid. Now, she dares to ask for something radical: to return it and choose her own path. Will her mother agree? Directed by Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Hà Lệ Diễm, The Price of Dreams unfolds through Ngân’s own diary entries and reflections, capturing a quiet yet courageous fight for freedom and self-determination.
