SYS Sister Sounds presents: Pho The Girls short film documentary premiering exclusively on Mixcloud this Friday 7pm ICT.
The documentary showcases female DJ collective Pho The Girls breaking boundaries in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Shot and edited in Vietnam by Khmer/Vietnamese Australian DJ/Producer Maggie Tra, the film unfolds exposing sexism in Vietnam, whilst also empowering women and non-binary people in Hanoi by using music as a tool to unite and uplift like-minded people together to create a safe space.
Featuring Pho The Girls DJs and founder Maggie Tra, the documentary follows the journey of the girls who have participated in the workshop and tells the story of Maggie discovering and putting roots in Vietnam and leaving her footprint.
“The documentary is not just about djing, it’s about pushing boundaries and bringing women from all facets of life together by learning and playing,” said Maggie Tra.
“We’ve built a community from culture and I am so excited for the world to see that,”
The premiere will take place via SYS Sister Sounds’s Mixcloud: HERE.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
