Xuan Vu

Xuan Vu, is a documentary filmmaker whose core motivation is to give a voice to those who otherwise would not be heard. From her activist work in political documentaries about the threat to U.S. citizens' voting rights (Stealing America and Reclaiming Their Voice, by Oscar-nominated and Emmy award winner Dorothy Fadiman), to her devotion to raising awareness about the stigma of mental health in the Asian American community (Can, by Pearl J. Park), to her editorial contributions in international causes such as sustainability efforts in Haiti (Holy Crap! by Jennifer Benorden), Xuan continuously devotes her energies and skills to shedding light upon vehicles of positive change. Her more recent work in broadcast television highlights both her storytelling and more technical skills as an editor (such as PBS’s “Unladylike2020,” PBS's "America by the Numbers with Maria Hinojosa,” Showtime's "Dark Net,” and CNN’s “This is Life with Lisa Ling”). Xuan currently lives in New York City and holds a dual BA/MA degree in Documentary Filmmaking & East/West Philosophy from Boston University's University Professors Program.
