Outside in Hanoi

Through the personal stories told by three rural women coming to Hanoi for work and study, the short film somehow reflects the living conditions of hundred thousand migrants in big cities in Vietnam. It is the explosion in the number of migrants that causes discrimination and inequality between urban people and rural migrants. The sincere sharing about the desires and dreams along with difficulties encountered while living in the city partly helps viewers understand the overall picture of migration in urban areas in Vietnam nowadays. This is also part of the research topic of TRYHanoi on the behaviors and habits of young migrants (16-30 years old) in using public spaces to interact with social norms and rules in the capital city, thereby exploring the relationship between their presence in public spaces and the way they experience this visibility.
