Painted Nails trailer
a documentary by Dianne Griffin and Erica Jordan
translation and guidance by Nhung Pham
The world is at our fingertips in Painted Nails — a Vietnamese immigrant story of exotic nail art, pampered clients, and the serious health risks that lurk beneath the brightly painted surface. The nail industry is an economic steppingstone for a generation of Vietnamese immigrant women. Yet, for these women, the promise of the American Dream has its price. Painted Nails will explore the benefits and the dangers both workers and clients face.
Thank you chi Nhung for sharing your story and letting me know about this film. I look forward to seeing it. Best wishes, Bao
