Director's Statement: "Container" is a very personal project of mine, I wanted to tell a Vietnamese story that's not about the war because there is a lack of representation from Vietnam in North American cinema. Through the film, Erin and I explored a different side of human trafficking and why some people would risk everything and choose this journey. - Quan Luong
