USA 2008
Director : Lisa Nguyen
Not In My Backyard is a short film that begs the questions: “What
if there was a war here in America?” and “How will our children
understand war?” The film explores the idea of war in American
suburbia through the eyes and imagination of an innocent little girl.
When a battle erupts in the little girl’s suburban backyard, she tastes
war for the first time with a naïve sense of imagination.
