One year ago, Vietnam’s strongest storm in 30 years tore through Hanoi, uprooting more than 40,000 trees. Director Kate Villevoye and cinematographer Thao Hoang return to the city’s Old Quarter to see what remains. Over tea with longtime residents, memories of that day come flooding back. Mr Cuong’s Banyan Tree is a short documentary exploring a story of loss, resilience, and the deep roots that hold a community together. Watch: youtu.be/fRi15NzCZX0 | Al Jazeera English
