The short film \u201c<\/strong>Light by the Sea\u201d<\/strong>, produced by TYM, has proudly won Best Film Award in the Legacy Lens category at the 2025 SineMaya International Community Film Festival. This achievement is not only a cinematic honor but also a meaningful recognition of TYM\u2019s enduring journey in accompanying and empowering women, families, and especially vulnerable groups within the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cLight by the Sea\u201d is inspired by a true story of a TYM client in Cua Lo Town, Nghe An Province. It tells the poignant story of a mother and her young son who navigate profound loss and hardship, gradually rediscovering the light of faith and hope. The child character in the film is portrayed by Mai Bao Giap, the son of Ms. Bui Thi Huan, who has been supported by TYM for many years through the \u201c<\/strong>Give Your Dreams Wings\u201d <\/strong>Scholarship Program and the \u201c<\/strong>Godmother\u201d Program initiated by the Vietnam Women\u2019s Union.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s narrative is conveyed through an emotionally rich and deeply humane cinematic language, where a mother\u2019s love, the compassion of the community, and TYM\u2019s steadfast accompaniment become the guiding light helping a family weather life\u2019s storms\u2014so that a child never has to walk alone. Like a small light by the sea, this quiet yet resilient support is strong enough to illuminate the way forward.<\/p>\n
