Saigon Kids Documentary

Guest Post By Elvera Roussel

Dear Everyone,

I hope you all know I have been filming a documentary for the New York Foundation for the Arts for the last six years.

As I am paying for it all out of my own pocket it has taken a long time to get to everyone who wants to be a part of it.

I will be working my way across America this summer completing filming.
I have already received a little footage and a lot of photos that people have donated to the film.

Late in his life, he became a leading actor depicting Native Americans in American films and television. He is sometimes credited as Floyd Crow Westerman or Ten Bears (Character) from Dances with Wolves (1990). Before entering films and television, Westerman had established a solid reputation as a country-western music singer. Westerman was also a recognized political advocate for Native American causes, working at times with the American Indian Movement.

Alhambra Theater Saigon - Now Playing: ROCK, ROCK, ROCK

Welcome to Saturday At The Movies with Saigon Kids.

This week we’re at the Alhambra Theater in old Saigon since this movie was made before the Kinh Do Theater was opened.

ROCK, ROCK, ROCK was made in 1956 but it probably would have been 1958 or 1959 before it would have made it to Saigon – if it ever did – LOL.

[Ken is manning the Concession Stand with icy cold drinks, candy and hot buttered popcorn - just like in the ol' days - :) ]

This week’s feature is the 1956 movie classic – ROCK, ROCK, ROCK

A young teenage girl desperately tries to earn enough money to buy a dress for a school rock and roll dance. Continue reading Alhambra Theater Saigon – Now Playing: ROCK, ROCK, ROCK

As mentioned in the Post a few days ago, the idea is being kicked around of compiling a video of old home movies from our days in Saigon.

As promised here is an example of the kinds of old home movies we’d be looking for to make the video.
