Building on her long-term commitment to countering Western narratives of conquest and colonisation, in her most recent film, Forgetting Vietnam, Trinh returns to Vietnam. In her 2016 publication Lovecidal: Walking with the Disappeared, Trinh discusses the global state of endless war and new forms of citizen resistance to militarism and surveillance. She considers each work to exist as a 'boundary event', eluding labels such as documentary, fiction and experimental film, instead inhabiting spaces in between these designations.
