I was looking in my computer illiterate most of the time, normally not my ego my amigo bringing back bad dreams sometimes and somehow your story / film popped up. When I feel the sleepless night coming on I make sticky rice and a chicken spiced beyond belief, regretting that a friend has to sometimes send me lemon grass and fresh corriander from Bruxelles by post. I cook, eat, remember quiet moments of 1970 in Vientienne or a few forgetable ones at the Purple Parrot before I would re-group down river at Udorn, sleep in the field before delivering the hard rice the next AM early to a new Lima site under siege. I got sanitized last November and live anonymously in Italy now in the other secret life finally coming to fruition. Could we communicate ? garner ( Wolverine ) I guess I could introduce myself by saying I believe in destiny.

I was so moved by the documentary. My parents are products of the "The Betrayal" They immigrated to the US in the late 1970's from Laos and often shared their horror stories to my sister and I. We always brushed it off and could not relate to their stories. This film brought tears to my eyes because of how I took my parents struggle and experience lightly. I'm going to share this film with every young Laotian/American person I know. I want everyone in this world to see this film. Thank you for making such an honest and powerful documentary.
