And Miles to Go Before I Sleep

The secret footage of arrests, interviews with family members of the victims, and reports on migrant workers' injuries over the years are intertwined. "And Miles to Go Before I Sleep" attempts to sort out the structure of accomplices in the system. The truth about the nine bullets is not as straightforward and transparent as it seems. In the desolate scenery, with Ruan Guofei's Facebook text serves as a narration, like a returning ghost narrating a sad and short life. When the perpetrator may not be the real perpetrator, does the apology to the perfect victim really deserve it? Nguyen Quoc Phi, a Vietnamese young man who loves to sing, became a "runaway migrant worker" in order to pay off his debts as soon as possible. He worked hard and looked forward to returning home with a rich career. Unexpectedly, one day in 2017, Nguyen Quoc Phi was reported to have attempted to steal a car by a remote river. He was shot nine times by the police and died after being delayed in hospital. Public opinion supported the police's law enforcement, but a series of mysteries emerged one after another after the incident. Why did a rookie police officer shoot a naked migrant worker nine times? Before the gunshot, what forces forced him to become a runaway migrant worker whose life was in danger? Was it really just the nine bullets that killed him?
