Glitter’s Paradise (2015) highlights Vietnam's portrayal as a sanctuary for pedophiles and child molesters from abroad. The title references the former glam-rock singer turned pedophile, Gary Glitter, who was arrested in 2006 in the southern coastal city of Vung Tau and later convicted for child sex abuse.

Lê’s video begins innocently with a bed of colorful flowers. A clenched hand appears, unfurling to reveal a small, beating heart. The imagery is uncomfortable; the heart's rhythmic sound gradually slows, creating an almost unbearable tension. Eventually, the heart stops beating. The hand closes and pulls away, leaving the faintest imprint where it once rested.
