Summary
Locals in Hanoi's nudist club gather along the Red River to strip off and exercise in defiance of social norms and to embrace a sense of freedom in a conservative society. Despite the taboo on public nudity in Vietnam, these nudists, including those with professional day jobs, continue to gather daily for their unconventional activities.
