hmong movie

The purpose of the film is to introduce people in the Ozarks to this remarkable group of people, their new, largely invisible neighbors. Those who arrived from Laos and Thailand have suffered enormously, yet they plow ahead to survive and thrive with optimism and a highly- developed sense of loyalty to the U.S. After a short historical look at who the Hmong are and how they came to the US, the film will explore some of the issues described above: why they came to the Ozarks, what their life is like now, what their contributions to the area have been, and what challenges they face, including the loss of culture.

Seeking information about the war that changed her family's destiny and her mother who died in a refugee camp, Dao turns to her father, who protects her from the past.

This documentary is a portrait of a community left behind: from the daily life of refugees as they cook, salvage their fires from the rain and shower under gutters, to its absurdity as they wait long hours outside Thai army headquarters to register in a census that only guarantees their expulsion. In the intimacy of their homes, Vietnam War Hmong veterans present their personal mementos and tales of their guerrilla days, and share harrowing stories of persecution and rape at the hands of the Lao Army. Alongside the refugees, aid workers from IRC and MSF attempt to protect the Hmong community from the cold, rain and disease. The village mayor oscillates between his official duties and his compassion for the population. A police officer presents the scripted policy of the Thai government,... Less
