Quan reflects on his extraordinary journey from childhood refugee to Hollywood star, sharing a deeply personal story of resilience, identity, reinvention, and an unforgettable second act. A special opportunity for HIFF audiences to celebrate one of cinema’s most beloved figures beyond the screen. Presented by Vilcek Foundation.
About NEVER SAY DIE
In this stunning and compulsively readable memoir, the Oscar-winning star of INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, THE GOONIES, and EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE, Ke Huy Quan, tells the story of his journey from Vietnamese refugee to 80s child star to the most inspiring comeback in Hollywood history.
“A monumental work of self-discovery and the power and grace of communal survival. Quan’s voice is crystalline and luminous, and his Odyssean journey to the screen is, in itself, a triumph of storytelling.” – Ocean Vuong
