Set within the clouded beauty of an Indigenous Hmong village in the Vietnamese mountains, Children of the Mist follows Di, a 12-year-old girl whose adolescence is complicated by newfound access to formal education and the traditional-yet-controversial practice of "bride kidnapping." Amid Lunar New Year celebrations, Di disappears. Hà Lệ Diễm directs the documentary, for which she won the Best Directing award at the 2021 International Documentary Film Festival.
