Description
The Vietnam War had a major impact on the American people and
politics. Unfortunately, the majority of people in the world do not
know that the Vietnam War also happened in Cambodia and Laos. This
is a story of a Khmer family that lived through the legacy of the
Nixon/Kissinger doctrine that helped the Khmer Rouge rise to power,
resulting in the murder of over one million of their own people.
Although almost two million Khmers had perished, those of us who
survived this dark period and dispersed all over the world are
their immortal seeds.
