Paul and Millie Cao fell in love as teenagers in Vietnam but were soon separated by the war. Years later they finally reunited in California. Now, after decades of working hard to build new lives, they are making up for lost time on the dance floor. Shot over a period of six years, WALK RUN CHA-CHA is an intimate, beautifully-crafted story about immigration, transformation and the power of love.

Point of View Magazine
Review by Pat Mullen
“The New York Times’ Op-Docs could finally land a win with this invigorating crowd-pleaser. Walk Run Cha-Cha is an absolute delight… We often hear about the Vietnam war, but not the struggles that come after. With its charming dancers and captivating moves, Walk Run Cha-Cha shimmies to top marks from the judges.”
