The Popcorn List Recommendation: "NEW WAVE is a stunning film that captures, with incredible nuance, poignancy, and a fair share of razor-sharp wit, a community of first-generation Vietnamese American youth in the 1980s who found solidarity through a shared love of Euro-synth dance music and punk/goth aesthetics. Beneath the music, however, lies a deeper story of intergenerational trauma, the lasting impact of the Vietnam War, and the resilience and possibility of reinvention.”DocumentaryPT1H28M2025-09-26Ian Nguyen
