Vietnam 25 Years Documenting a Changing Country

Catherine Karnow’s attachment to Vietnam, her 25-year history of photographing the morphing society and landscape, is a visual diary of how she entered this land of enigma and discovered its twists and turns at every intersection of life.

Her photographs reveal the story of a poignant and emotional journey following in the footsteps of her esteemed father, Stanley Karnow, the renowned journalist of the seminal book and award winning documentary Vietnam: A History.

DOCUMENTARIES

Catherine is regularly profiled in the Vietnamese press.

Destiny in Vietnam is about her life story in Vietnam, including visits to Diep Tran, the "Woman on the Train", and the Tan Family, whose two boys suffer the effects of Agent Orange.

Catherine Karnow and General Giap profiles her unusual friendship with Vietnam's hero, General Giap, and his family, covering her 1994 visit to Dien Bien Phu, which was at the private invitation of General Giap. She also talks about what it was like to be the only foreigner to photograph his funeral and burial, an event of great historic significance.  

On the Talk Vietnam channel, these two documentaries were seen by millions around the world.
