Singer/songwriter Thao Nguyen, of Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, grew up in Falls Church, VA, and first picked up a guitar at age 12. She began performing in a pop country duo in high school and spent most of her 20s touring. Nobody Dies, directed by Todd Krolczyk follows Thao and her mother as they visit Vietnam, a first for both: Thao’s first time in the country and her mother’s first time since the Vietnam War. As Thao explores the country of her parents, she experiences a deeper understanding of the cultural influences that shaped her family, the impact it had on her music and her relationship with her mother.

The Hawaiian Islands are the most remote major island group on earth. On the secondlargest island of Maui, the Haleakala volcano rises 10,000 feet — nearly two miles — into the sky. And the massive crater located at its summit carries the unique distinction of The Quietest Place on Earth. For some, the exquisite stillness of this stark volcanic landscape can mimic a religious experience, while for others, it simply inspires a deeper awareness of humans’ place in nature. SDPB2: Thursday, May 14, 7pm & Midnight (6 & 11 MT)
