Nguyễn Kim Hồng

Nguyễn Kim Hồng (chữ Hán and ; born May 15, 1980) is a Vietnamese-origin Taiwanese documentary film director.

Life and career Nguyễn Kim Hồng grew up in rural Đồng Tháp province in Vietnam with nine siblings and had to drop out of school after fifth grade to help her family of agricultural workers. Frustrated by her family's treatment, Kim Hồng decided to marry a Taiwanese man and moved to Taiwan in 2000 at the age of 21, but her husband abused her, accrued debts from gambling and her in-laws never accepted her, so she divorced him in 2008. As a single mother with custody of their daughter, she faced poverty and even thought of suicide, but took self-help courses to recover and volunteered at a local immigrant organization.

Out/Marriage, her first film, was released in 2012. The film covers the story of Kim Hồng and four other women (three from Vietnam and one from Indonesia) who migrated to Taiwan for marriage and the struggles they face in their new homes and communities, ultimately ending in disappointment and the end of their marriages. It was nominated for Best Documentary at the Taipei Film Festival. A sequel, feature-length film, See You, Lovely Strangers, won the award for Best Documentary at the 2016 Golden Harvest Awards for Outstanding Short Films.

In March 2026, Kim Hồng was nominated to the board of directors of the Public Television Service.
