SCREENINGS + EVENTS: NEW YEAR BABY
From the Filmmaker: One Christmas Day, my parents, refugees of the Khmer Rouge now living in America, called a family meeting. They sat down my brother, two older sisters and me – to reveal secrets after 25 years. My mother told us that my two sisters aren’t actually my sisters. They are the children of my mother’s sister, orphaned when their parents were killed by the Khmer Rouge. We learned my older brother isn’t actually my full brother. He is my half brother – the surviving child from her first family. My mother’s first husband and daughter died in the genocide. This was the first I’d heard of them. It was the first for my brother too. In that room of shocked and tearful children, my father got up and in his character, locked himself in the bathroom. My parent’s revelation raised more questions than it answered, so I became determined to document the full story, returning with them to Cambodia. Read the full synopsis here.
