“The Sympathizer” has been described as a thriller and cross-culture satire about the struggles of Captain, a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy during the final days of the Vietnam War and his resulting exile in the United States. After leaving Vietnam during the fall of Saigon in 1975, the Captain becomes enmeshed in the Southern California exile community and serves as a cultural adviser to an American film about the war. He’s later recruited to return to Vietnam for a raid on the communists.
“The Sympathizer” is a co-production between HBO, A24, and Rhombus Media, produced in association with Cinetic Media and Moho Film.
