NAILED IT: Vietnamese & the Nail Industry

October 6, 2021

Adele Free Pham

59 min | 2019 | US | Boston Premiere

While ubiquitous in cities across the country, few Americans know the history behind the Vietnamese nail salons and the 20 Vietnamese refugee women, who in 1975, sparked a multibillion-dollar industry that supports their community to this day. Weaving powerful personal stories with insightful interviews, Nailed It, director Adele Free Pham, captures an unforgettable and often hilarious saga born of tragedy, charting the rise, struggle, stereotypes, and steady hold Vietnamese Americans have on today’s multiethnic $8 billion dollar nail economy. Nailed It celebrates the immigrant experience of entrepreneurship and offers a reminder of the value they bring to their new home country of the US. Official Screenings: Premiered on PBS American Documentary.
