Producer Karen Brown has created a well-thought-out documentary from varied perspectives updating the experiences of Cambodian refugees from the Killing Fields to present. This award-winning half-hour examines in great detail the post-traumatic stress of refugees who survived the genocide of the Khmer Rouge. Most Americans know little of these horrors beyond the movie the Killing Fields. This documentary not only gives voice to the survivors but sheds light on the attempts to heal through Western mental health care and Buddhist spirituality. There isn't any other documentary or piece about Cambodia or Cambodian Americans on PRX. I highly recommend this important piece to air any time.
