Boat People
Enfant, au Vietnam, la mère de Thao sauve souvent les fourmis des bols d’eau sucrée. Des années plus tard, celles-ci vont lui rendre la pareille. Le documentaire animé Boat People emploie une métaphore frappante pour relater la fuite d’une famille sur les eaux tumultueuses de l’Histoire.
