Wounds We Carry (Documentary Film by Michael Siv)

Wounds We Carry
"Wounds We Carry follows a small group of Cambodian Americans as we return to observe the Khmer Rouge trials. Different paths have led us to this point. I am from a younger generation: now in my thirties, I was a child when my mother and I escaped to the U.S, leaving behind my father and brother. The elderly man in our group was being trained in the U.S. when the war broke out in 1975. His wife and two other women, short-listed by the tribunal to tell their stories at the trial, are genocide survivors. We are traveling with Dr. Leakhena (LAH-keh-nah) Nou, a Cambodian-born woman in her early forties whose family left before the war. A professor with a doctorate in medical sociology, Leakhena is both the catalyst for our journey and the only one in our group who did not experience the atrocities firsthand." -- Michael Siv

Khmer Survivors' Voices (Collaboration with Stephane Janin)
