Daughter from Đà Nẵng is a 2002 documentary film about an Amerasian, Heidi Bub, meeting her biological family in Da Nang, decades after being brought to the United States in 1975 during Operation Babylift at the end of the Vietnam War.

Heidi Neville Bub was born on December 10, 1968, in Da Nang as Mai Thi Hiep.

Her mother, Mai Thi Kim, already had three children and was estranged from her husband Do Huu Vinh, who had left her to fight with the Viet Cong.

When the North Vietnamese army came closer to Da Nang, Mai Thi Kim feared for Heidi's safety due to rumors of retaliation against mixed-race children.

Now that she knows her biological mother was trying to find her, Heidi decides to return to Vietnam, assisted by journalist Tran Tuong Nhu.

Upon meeting, Mai Thi and Heidi hug and cry tears of joy, but this reunion soon gives way to culture shock.

Heidi's guide explains to her that it is common for Vietnamese nationals in America to provide money for their families remaining in Vietnam.

[2][4][5] Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 77 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
